Hymn 166

Christ Jesus our cross and our song

Krist t’ agbelebu l’ orin wa

English Yorùbá
Meter C.M (8.6.8.6) Lenti, Ironupiwada
  1. Christ Jesus our cross and our song,
    Deepest mystery revealed;
    Mockery it seemeth to the Jews,
    Insanity to Greeks.

  2. But all hearts converted of God
    Gladly receive the word;
    Wisdom, strength, love they receiveth,
    Revealeth in their God.

  3. The Saviour of His living name
    All dead souls reviving;
    Disbelief can our soul defile,
    Unto condemnation.

  4. Save by chance God His grace showered
    Aliked downpour of rain;
    Apollos may sow all in vain,
    Paul irrigate in vain. Amin.
