Isa. 41:10
ENGLISH
1. Standing at the portal
Of the op'ning year
Words of comfort meet us
Hushing ev'ry fear
Spoken through the silence
By our Father's voice
Tender, strong, and faithful
Making us rejoice
Onward, then, and fear not
Children of the day
For His Word shall never
Never pass away!
2. I, the Lord, am with thee
Be thou not afraid!
I will help and strengthen
Be thou not dismayed!
Yea, I will uphold thee
With My own right hand
Thou art called and chosen
In My sight to stand.
3. For the year before us
O what rich supplies!
For the poor and needy
Living streams shall rise
For the sad and sinful
Shall His grace abound
For the faint and feeble
Perfect strength be found.
4. He will never fail us
He will not forsake,
His eternal cov'nant
He will never break!
Resting on His promise
What have we to fear?
God is all-sufficient
For the coming year.
Amen

1 N ‘ibere odun yi, odun titun yi
Oro itunu de, ti nle eru lo
Ohun keje jeje ti Baba Orun
Ododo l‘oro na, ti nm‘okan wa yo
E ma tesiwaju, Omo imole,
Oro Re ko le ye, O nduro titi.
“Ma beru? l‘oro na, “Mo wa pelu yin”
Emi n‘iranwo yin at‘agbara yin,
Emi y‘o di yin mu, li owo ‘tun mi,
Mo pe yin, mo yan yin, lati je temi.
3 Fun opo odun ti mbe niwaju wa,
Opo ni ipese t‘o ti seleri:
Ipese f‘alaini, f‘awon elese.
F‘awon t‘a npon loju, fun alailera.
4 Ko je fi wa sile, ko si ni ko wa,
Majemu Re daju ti ko le ye lae
A ro mo ‘le riyi, eru ko bawa,
Olorun wa ti to, fun odun ti mbo.
Amin.
