1. Wa ba mi gbe, ale fere le tan
Okunkun nsu, Oluwa ba mi gbe;
Bi oluranlowo miran ba ye
Iranwo alaini, wa ba mi gbe

Ayo aye nku, ogo re nwomi
Ayida at’ibaje ni mo n ri

Se ‘mole mi, si toka si orun
B’aye ti nkoja, k’ile orun mo
Ni yiye, ni kiku, wa ba mi gbe. Amin.

ABIDE WITH ME FAST FALLS THE EVENTIDE

Abide with me - fast fall the even tide,

The darkness deepens- Lord, with me abide;

When other helper fail and comforts flee,

Help of the helpless, O abide with me,

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day,

Earth's joy grow dim, it's glories pass away;

Change and decay in all around I see

O Thou who changes! not, abide with me!

I need Thy presence every passing hour -

What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power,?

Who like Thy - self my guide and stay can be?

Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me!

Hold Thou Thy word before my closing eyes,

Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies;

Heavens morning breaks and earth's vain flee-

In life, In death, 0 Lord, abide with me!

Now thank we all our God,

1.   Now thank we all our God,

     with heart and hands and voices,

     who wondrous things has done,

     in whom this world rejoices;

     who from our mothers' arms

     has blessed us on our way

     with countless gifts of love,

     and still is ours today.

2.   O may this bounteous God

     through all our life be near us,

     with ever joyful hearts

     and blessed peace to cheer us;

     and keep us still in grace,

     and guide us when perplexed;

     and free us from all ills,

     in this world and the next.

3.   All praise and thanks to God

     the Father now be given;

     the Son, and him who reigns

     with them in highest heaven;

     the one eternal God,

     whom earth and heaven adore;

     for thus it was, is now,

     and shall be evermore.
