Mme Anam-Akpanikọ Nditọete Iban
1. Sarah ye Esther, Mary, Ruth, ye mmọ ’ken—
Kpukpru mmọ ẹkedi ata nti ’ban ndọ.
Uten̄e Jah ekebehe mmọ akan.
Ẹnam akpanikọ, ifiọk mmọ k’enyịn̄.
Jah ama onyụn̄ ama mbon en̄wen,
Owo isiakke mmọ, ẹkedi nti ’ban n̄ko.
2. Nsọn̄ọnda, eti ’do, ima-mfọnido,
Mm’owo ẹsima mme nti edu emi,
Nti ’ban emi ẹti nnyịn mm’edu emi.
Mmọ ẹkedi nti uwụtn̄kpọ ndikpebe.
Mme Christian iban ẹkpebede mmọ,
Utom mbufo ọfọn, mbufo ẹnem esịt.
3. Mm’eka y’ibanndọ, iban ye mm’ebekpa,
Ẹnyịme ẹnyụn̄ ẹma ndinam utom.
Ẹtịm ẹkama idem, ẹsụk ibuot,
Ẹkûfehe ndịk ke Jah ama mbufo.
Iban Christian, yak Jah an̄wam mbufo
Ẹtịm ẹbuọt idem, utịp mbufo k’edi.
(Se n̄ko Phil. 4:3; 1 Tim. 2:9, 10; 1 Pet. 3:4, 5.)
