BABA, je nya odun yi

Verse 1

BABA, je nya odun yi
Si mimo fun O,

Bi ‘banuje on ‘rora
Nko gbodo komnu;
Eyi sa l’ adura mi.
“Ogo f’ oko Re.”

Verse 2

‘Biti on y’o gbe?
Baba ‘fe ha le du ni
L’ ebun rere bi?
‘Jojumo n’ Iwo nfun wa
Ju bi o ti to,
O ko du wa l’ ohun kan
T’ y’ o yin O logo.

Verse 3

Ninu anu, b’ Iwo ba
Fun mi li ayo,
B’ Alafia on ‘rora
Ba m’ oju mi dan;
Gba okan mi ba nkorin
Je k’ o ma yin O,
Ohun t’ ola ba mu wa
“Ogo f’ oko Re.”

Verse 4

B’ O mu ‘ponju wa ba mi,
T’ na mi sokun,
T’ ere mi di adanu,
Ti ile mi kan;
Je ki nranti bi Jesu
Ti d’ Eni ogo,
T’ O ngbadura n’nu ponju,
“Ogo f’ oko Re.”
