Hymn 156

Think of my affliction O Lord.

Rò ipọnju mi, Oluwa

English Yorùbá
Meter C.M (8.6.8.6) Lenti, Ironupiwada
  1. Think of my affliction O Lord.
    Send Thy only help
    My heart fainteth for salvation
    And will my work not end?

  2. It is more proportion for me
    If my father whips me,
    Punish me for refusing Thee
    That I may believe Thee.

  3. I know righteous is thy judgement
    As harsh as it may be,
    Paints that I have already borne
    Cometh from Thee alone.

  4. Before I knew Thy guiding hand
    I always went astray,
    When I read Thy consoling words
    I do not go astray. Amen.
