Hymn 166: Christ Jesus our cross and our song

Kristi t’ agbelebu l’ orin wa

  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.
