Author’s (Composer’s) Note: I do not know the conventional musical notes, I would have inscribed it on this to enhance believers’ musical sense and smooth rendition of the song, albeit, I have fashioned the song in tune with one of the worldwide known hymn. If anyone knows the hymns used, such a one can sing this song anywhere in the world.
The tune which this song has been fashioned along or the tune of the hymn that can be used to sing this song is:
Ni èdè Yorùbá Orin inu iwe ti a le lò niyi, “Emi ‘ba n’ẹgbẹrun ahọn, Fun ‘yin Olugbala…”
Àkọlé Orin nã ni: Busi Igbagbọ wa
1. Bi ẹnyin ba le ni igbagbọ
Bi horo mustardi
Ẹnyin yio tilẹ wi fun ‘gi ni
Pe ko di fifatu
2. Njẹ ‘gbagbọ ni ‘daniloju
Ohun ti a nreti
Ijẹri si awọn ohun ti
Ko I ti farahan
3. Nipa igbagbọ ni Josua
D’osupa at’orun ‘ro
L’afonifoji t’aijaloni
Ati lori Gibeoni
4. Nipa igbagbọ ni Isaaki

5. Nipa ‘gbagbọ ni ọlọla

Jọwọ Oluwa busi igbagbọ
Awa ti o gba Ọ gbọ
Translation:
The tune of the Hymn you can use to sing this song is beneath:
“Oh for a thousand tongues to sing
My dear Redeemer’s praise
The glories of my God and king
The triumphs of His grace”
The Hymn Title: Increase Our Faith
1. If you can have in you the faith
Like grain of mustard seed
You will even say unto that tree
That it be uprooted
2. Now faith is the assurance of
What we are expecting
Its evidence of those things that
Are yet to manifest
3. Its through the faith that Joshua
Stopped the moon and the sun
In the valley of the Ajalon
And upon the Gibeon
4. Its through the faith that I-saac
Sow his seeds in the land
And the Lord bless the work of his hand
He thence become a blessed
5. Its through the faith that the noble person
The Shunammite woman
Receive her son who was dead before
Back as a living soul
6. The woman from the Canaan land
Ask for help from the Lord
She received answer to her request
Because she has great faith
7. Just as the ancient disciples did
Same way we ‘r pleading with you
Oh Lord please increase thou the faith
Those of us who believe in you
