WAKATI adura didun!

WAKATI adura didun!
T'o gbe mi lo kuro l'ayé,
Lo 'waju ite Baba mi,
Ki n so gbogbo edun mi fun;
Nigba 'banuje at'aro,
Adua  l'abo fun okan mi:
Emi si bo lowo Esu,
'Gbati mo ba gb'adua didun
Emi si bo lowo Esu,
'Gbati mo ba gb'adua didun

Wakati adura didun!

Iye re y'o gbe ebe mi,
Lo sod' eni t'o se 'leri,
Lati bukun okan adua:
B'O ti ko mi, ki n woju Re,  
Ki n gbekele, ki n si gb' gbo:
N ó ko gbogb' aniyan mi le,
Ni akoko adua didun,
N ó ko gbogb' aniyan mi le,
Ni akoko adua  didun.


Wakati adura didun!

Je ki n ma r'itunu re gba,
Titi n ó fi d'oke Pisga,
Ti n ó r'ile mi l'okere,
N ó bo ago ara sile,  
N ó gba ere ainipekun:
N ó korin bi mo ti n fo lo,
O digbose! Adua didun,
N ó korin bi mo ti n fo lo,
O digbose! adua didun.

AMIN

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
The joys I feel, the bliss I share,
Of those whose anxious spirits burn
With strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
Where God my Savior shows His face,
And gladly take my station there,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His Word and trust His grace,
I’ll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
May I thy consolation share,
Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height,
I view my home and take my flight:
This robe of flesh I’ll drop and rise
To seize the everlasting prize;
And shout, while passing through the air,
“Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!”
