JESUS LIVES! THY TERRORS NOW

Jesus lives! thy terrors now
can no longer, death, appall us;
Jesus lives! by this we know
thou, O grave, canst not enthrall us.
Alleluia!

Jesus lives! henceforth is death

but the gate of life immortal;
this shall calm our trembling breath
when we pass its gloomy portal.
Alleluia!

Jesus lives! for us he died;

then, alone to Jesus living,
pure in heart may we abide,
glory to our Savior giving.
Alleluia!

Jesus lives! our hearts know well

nought from us his love shall sever;
life, nor death, nor powers of hell
tear us from his keeping ever.
Alleluia!

Jesus lives! to him the throne

over all the world is given:
may we go where he has gone,
rest and reign with him in heaven.
Alleluia!

I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

I need thee every hour,

most gracious Lord;
no tender voice like thine
can peace afford.

Refrain:
I need thee, O I need thee,
every hour I need thee.
O bless me now, my Savior;
I come to thee.

I need thee every hour;

stay thou near by;
temptations lose their power
when thou art nigh. [Refrain]

I need thee every hour,

in joy or pain;
come quickly and abide,
or life is vain. [Refrain]

I need thee every hour;

teach me thy will;
and thy rich promises
in me fulfill. [Refrain]

I need thee every hour,

Most Holy One;
O make me thine indeed,
thou Blessed Son!

JESU NI GBOGBO AIYE FUN MI

JESUS IS ALL THE WORLD TO ME

Jesus is all the world to me,

my life, my joy, my all;
He is my strength from day to day,
without Him I would fall:
when I am sad, to Him I go;
no other one can cheer me so;
when I am sad, He makes me glad;
He's my friend.
Jesus is all the world to me,
my friend in trials sore;
I go to Him for blessings,
and He gives them o'er and o'er:
He sends the sunshine and the rain,
He sends the harvest's golden grain;
sunshine and rain, harvest of grain;
He's my friend.

Jesus is all the world to me,

and true to Him I'll be;
oh, how could I this friend deny
when He's so true to me?
Following Him, I know I'm right,
He watches o'er me day and night;
Following Him, by day and night;
He's my friend.

Jesus is all the world to me,

I want no better friend;
I trust Him now, I'll trust Him when
Life's fleeting days shall end:
beautiful life with such a friend,
beautiful life that has no end;
eternal life, eternal joy;
He's my friend.

SLEEP ON, BELOVED

1 Sleep on, beloved, sleep, and take thy rest;

Lay down thy head upon thy Saviour's breast;
We love thee well, but Jesus loves thee best--
Good-night! Good-night! Good-night!

2 Calm is thy slumber as an infant's sleep;

But thou shalt wake no more to toil and weep:
Thine is a perfect rest, secure and deep--
Good-night! Good-night! Good-night!

3 Until the shadows from this earth are cast,

Until He gathers in His sheaves at last,
Until the twilight gloom be over past--
Good-night! Good-night! Good-night!

4 Until the Easter glory lights the skies,

Until the dead in Jesus shall arise,
And He shall come, but not in lowly guise--
Good-night! Good-night! Good-night!

Hymn /Orin EBH 295/YBH 599

WA BA MI GBE
WAba mi gbe! ale fere le tan,
Okunkun nsu; Oluwa ba mi gbe,
Bi oluranlowo miran ba ye,
Iranwo alaini, wa ba mi gbe.

Ojo aiye mi nsare lo s’opin,

Ayo aiye nku, ogo re nwo ‘mi;
Ayida at’ibaje ni mo nri;
‘Wo ti ki yipada, wa, ba mi gbe.
Mo nfe O ri ni wakati gbogbo;
Ki l’o le segun esu b’ore Re?
Tal’o le se amona mi bi Re?
N’nu ‘banuje at’ayo, ba mi gbe.

Pelu ‘Bukun Re, eru ko ba mi;

Ibi ko wuro, ekun ko koro;
Oro iku da? segun isa da?
Ngo segun sibe, b’Iwo ba mi gbe.

Ki nr’oro Re ni wakati iku,

Se ‘mole mi, si toka si orun;
B’aiye ti koja, k’ile orun
Ni yiye, ni kiku, wa ba mi gbe.

ABIDE WITH ME

Abide with me: fast falls the eventide;

the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;

earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away.
Change and decay in all around I see.
O Lord who changes not, abide with me.

I need your presence every passing hour.

What but your grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like yourself my guide and strength can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.

I fear no foe with you at hand to bless,

though ills have weight, and tears their bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory?
I triumph still, if you abide with me.

Hold now your Word before my closing eyes.

Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
