O WORD OF GOD INCARNATE / IWO ORO OLORUN

7. MINISTRY OF THE WORD a. Old Testament : Haggai 1:15b – 2:9 b. Epistle : 2 Thes. 2:1-5, 13-17 c. Hymn EMHB 303 YMHB 200 (Circuit Dev. Fund) 1. O word of God incarnate, O wisdom from on high, O Truth unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky, We praise Thee for the radiance That from the hallowed page, A lantern to our footsteps, Shines on from age to age. 2. The Church from her dear Master Received the gift divine, And still that light she lifteth, O’er all the earth to shine; It is the golden casket Where gems of truth are stored; It is the heaven-drawn picture Of Christ, the living Word; 3. It floateth like a banner Before God’s host unfurled; It shineth like a beacon Above the darkling world; It is the chart and compass That, o’er life’s surging sea, Mid mists, and rocks, and quicksands, Still guides, O Christ, to Thee. 4. O make Thy Church, dear Saviour, A lamp of burnished gold, To bear before the nations Thy true light, as of old; O teach Thy wandering pilgrims By this their path to trace, Till, clouds and darkness ended, They see Thee face to face. YMHB 200 1. Iwo oro Olorun, Ogbon at’ oke wa, Oto ti ki yipada Imole aiye wa: Awa yin O fun ‘mole, Ti ntan n’nu ‘we mimo, Fitila, lati to wa, Titi aiyeraiye. 2. Oluwa l’o f’ ebun yi Fun Ijo Re l’ aiye, A ngbe ‘mole na soke, K’o le tan y’ aiye ka; Apoti wura n’ ise, O kun fun otito; Aworan Kristi si ni, Oro iye toto; 3. O nfe lele b’ asia, T’o siwaju ogun; O ntan b’ ina alore, Si okunkun aiye; Amona awa eda N’nu wahala gbogbo, Larin agbami aiye, O nto wa sodo Krist’. 4. Olugbala, se ‘jo Re Ni fitila wura, K’o tan ‘mole Re kale, Bi t’ aiye igbani; Jeki awon asako Tele imole na, Tit’ okun aiye y’o pin, Ti nwon o r’ oju Re. d. New Testament : Luke 20:27-36
