(Sung in Swahili)

Refrain:
Neno litasimama (The Word shall remain)
Neno litasimama (The Word shall remain)
Mambo yote yatapita (All other things shall pass away)
Lakini neno litasimama (But the Word shall remain) (Repeat)

Vitabu vingi sana vimeandikwa (A lot of books have been written)
Kwa hekima yake mwanadamu (By human wisdom)
Vikitupotosha waziwazi (Lying to you openly)
Vile twaweza kuishi vyema duniani (On how we can live well on earth)
Ila yabidi tuelewe (But we have to understand)
Kwamba pale mwanzo kulikuwa Neno (That in the beginning was the Word)
Na Neno alikuwapo kwa Mungu (And the Word was with God)
Naye Neno alikuwa Mungu (And the Word was God)

Wamamas wababas watapita (The sponsors shall pass away)
Lakini neno lake Mungu litasimama (But the Word of God shall remain)
Bale mpya zitapita (All new things shall pass away)
Wale wameweza watapita (All the successful ones shall pass away)
Raha za dunia zitapita (The earthly pleasures shall pass away)
Lakini neno litasimama (But the word shall remain)

(Refrain)

Ugumu wa dunia utapita (The earthly struggles shall pass away)
Mali ya dunia yatapita (The earthly wealth shall pass away)
Na utajiri wote utapita (All the wealth shall pass away)
Lakini neno lake Mungu litasimama (But the word of God shall remain)
