Iwe Orin (Yoruba Hymn Book, CMS)

ORIN 10.

2 All the world awakes with joy,
Joining songs above,
Let the King of peace
Establish a kingdom of righteousness.

3 He sets His glory aside,
So that man may no longer die,
So that He might spare the sinner,
So that we may be born again.

4 Come, Love of the world, come!
Come, inhabit our hearts!
What a wonder this is!
Let the serpent’s destruction be upon him a reference to the promise in Genesis 3:15 concerning the crushing of the serpent's head!

5 Glory to the new King,
Let every song ring out,
Mercy and peace on earth,
The King of heaven dwells with us.

10 THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST. C.M.

Let us sing to our God
With His angels,
Angels do not know the love
That we receive from Him.
