Most
Rev.

Anthony
Ademu
Adaji,
MSP!
May
the
glory
of
God
shine
upon
you
forever!
God
looked
upon
His
holy
vineyard,
And
called
a
servant
to
lead
His
own;
With
faith
and
courage,
love
and
wisdom,
You
guide
His
people
towards
their
home.
You
are
a
father
to
the
weary,
A
voice
of
hope
to
those
in
pain;
With
arms
of
love,
you
gather
your
flock,
And
lead
us
closer
to
Jesus’
name.
O

of
Idah,
our

we
sing!

With

you
have
sown;

that
have
served

Reap

has
grown!
