Jeso o tseba Mathat’ arona (Jesus knows our troubles)
O tseba le ditlhoko (He knows our pain)
Re tla dula (We will stay)
Maotong a Jeso (At Jesus’ feet)
Phomolong ya Hodimo (Our resting place) (Repeat)

Oh Jeso! Oh Jeso (Oh Jesus, Oh Jesus!)
Wena Mora Modimo (You, Son of God)
Oh Jeso! Oh Jeso (Oh Jesus, Oh Jesus!)
Lefika le tileng (The Solid rock) (Repeat)

Modimo oa bo ntata rona (God of our forefathers)
Mehleng ea boholo (In the days of greatness)
Tshepo ea dilemo tse tlang (Hope of the coming years)
Lefika le tilleng (The Solid Rock)

Ka tlasa paballo ea hao (Under your shelter)
Le poloko ea hao (Your salvation)
Re tla dula hamonate (We will live comfortably)
Tshireletsong ea hao (Under your covering)

Re tla dula hamonate (We will live comfortably)
Tshireletsong ea hao (Under your covering) (Repeat)
