Ore-ofe! b’o ti dun to!
T’o gba em’ abosi;
Mo ti sonu, O wa mi ri,
O si si mi loju.
Or’ofe ko mi ki m’beru,
O si l’eru mi lo;
B’ore-ofe na ti han to
Nigba mo ko gbagbo!
Opo ewu at’ idekun
Ni mo ti la koja;
Or’-ofe npa mi mo doni
Y’o si sin mi dele.
Leyin aimoye odun n’be
T’a si nran bi orun,
Gbogb’ ojo tao fi ’yin Re
Y’o ju ’gba ’saju lo.
Amin.
And here is the original English version for comparison:
1. Amazing grace! How sweet the sound!
That saved a wretch like me;
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
2. ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
3. Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
Tis grace that brought me safe this far
And grace will lead me home.
4. Yes, when this heart and flesh shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the vail
A life of joy and peace.
Amen.
