Hymn 78: All ye Christians burst into joy

Onigbagbo, e bu s’ ayo

  1. All ye Christians burst into joy,
    Great day this hath been to us;
    Hark as the host of Angels sing
    Glorious praises unto God.
    O! Perfect peace, O! perfect peace
    Be unto all ye mankind.

  2. Let all who dwell on earth rejoice,
    And give glory unto God.
    His only Son He hath offered
    Begotten of a virgin.
    Wonderful Being, Wonderful Being
    Is He that is born today

  3. Through all the temptest and furmoil
    And the wickedness on earth
    In great tribulations of sin
    Son of God us to redeem.
    O! Counsellor, O! Counsellor:
    Oh The Royal Prince of peace

  4. Almighty, Omnipotent God
    Like a babe is born today:
    Everlasting Father and Being
    Our Royal Ruler He is.
    Burst into joy, burst into joy
    The Son of David reigneth

  5. From sin He hath come to save us,
    Our Mediating help He is
    Stronghold of satan to pull down
    Our King of Glory he is:
    Felicitate, Felicitate
    From the pang of death we’re saved.
