There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus
No, not one! no, not one!
None else could heal all our soul's diseases
No, not one! no, not one!

Ore bi Jesu (A friend like Jesus)
Ko si l'aiye yi (You can't find in this world)
Jesu nikan l'ore otito (Jesus alone is the true friend)
Ore aiye yi le ko wa sile (Our earthly friends may forsake us)
Sugbon Jesu ko je gbagbe mi (But Jesus can never forget me)

Aah! Ko je gbagbe mi (Aah! can never forget)
(Ore otito o!) (The very true friend o!)
Aah! Ko je gbagbe mi (Aah! can never forget)
(Hallelujah!)
Sugbon Jesu koje gbagbe mi (But Jesus can never forget me)
