Jesu, aso ododo Re

1. Jesu, aso ododo Re
L’ ewa at’ ewu ogo mi,
L’ aiye etan bi mba gbe wo,
L’ ayo ni ngo gb’ ori s’ oke.
2. ‘Gba mba dide n’nu ara ‘ku,
Lati gba ‘bugbe mi l’ oke,
Eyi ni y’o j’ aroye mi;
“Jesu wa, O si ku fun mi.”

‘Gba ara mi ba di ogbo;
Ogbo ko le p’ ewa re da,
Titun l’ aso Kristi titi.
4. Jeki oku ko gb’ ohun Re,
Ki awon ti a tanu yo;
Ewa, at’ aso ogo won
L’ Olugbala, Ododo wa.
