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, “Ọba Ogo Alafia ngo fẹran Rẹ”
Orin na niyi:
1. Sa gbẹkẹle Oluwa
Ẹlẹda Rẹ
O-un nikan ni o yẹ
Lat’gbẹkẹle
‘Tori Oun nikan ni
Ki doju tini
Ẹlẹda Aiyeraiye
Ọba Ogo
2. Awọn miran gbẹkẹle

Translation
The tune to use for this song is this:
“King of glory, king of Peace,
I will love Thee
And that love may never cease,
I will move thee
Thou hast granted my request
Thou hast heard me,
Thou didst note my working breast
Thou hast spared me”
The Hymn: Trust Him
1. Just put your trust in the Lord
Thine creator
Its him alone that’s worthy
To put trust in
Because it is him alone
That don’t put to shame
Everlasting creator
King of glory.
2. Some put their trust in
Chariots an’ horses
But what we ‘ll remember is
Your name that’s great
What you say in Thine Word is
You should call on me,
Whensoever you shall call
I will answer
3. Thou will keep on keeping them
In perfect peace
And those who can put their trust
In only thee
In this very wretched world
Will find your rest
Because of their faith that is
Reposed in you.
