(Languages: Zulu, English – A Hymn)

Eduze nesiphambano (Near the Cross)
Kunomthomb’ omuhle (There’s a precious fountain)
Amanzi okwelapha (A healing stream)
Evela ku Jesu (From Jesus)

Esiphambanweni (On the Cross)
Ngodumisa mina (Be my glory forever)
Lapho umoya wami (That is where my heart)
Wophumula khona (Shall find rest)

Eduze nes’phambano (Near the Cross)
Ngihlale newundlu (I will live with the Lamb)
Ngisize nsuku zonke (Help me day by day)
Ngilalel’ ithunzi (Cover me with Your shadow)

(Refrain)

Jesus keep me near the cross
There’s a greater answer
Free for everyone
There’s a healing to reap
That is Glory on Calvary’s x3
On Calvary’s Mountain

In the Cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my righteous soul shall find
Resting on the river (Repeat)

Ngophumula, ngophumula (I will rest, I will find rest)
Esiphambanweni (Near the Cross)
Ngophumula, ngophumula (I will rest, I will find rest)
Esiphambanweni (Near the Cross) (Repeat)

Based on the original hymn “Near the Cross” by Frances Crosby (1869)

Topusani liboso nayo (We come before You)
Tomemi mbeka ya masanjoli (We bring a sacrifice of worship)
Yamba loyembo ya babulami (Receive the song of the redeemed)
Tobonjeli nzambe n’a bomoyi (We offer them to You, Living God)
Kiti nayo eza ya seko (Your Throne is Eternal)
Bokonzi nayo ya libela (Your reign is forever)
Ozali nzambe tozoyembela (You are the God we sing to)
Kombo nayo Emmanuel (Your Name Emmanuel)

Refrain 1:
Togumbameli yo Mobikisi (Savior, we prostrate before You)

Moboko esimbi kondima (The Pillar that supports the faith)
Ya basantu eza yo Yesu (Of saints is You Jesus) (Repeat)

Bipayi yovandi yamba (It is where You Receive)
Loyembo ya mitema (The song of the heart)

Mokonzi Yesu amipesi mbeka (King Jesus giving Himself as sacrifice)
Elamba ya pembe epasuki (The temple curtain is torn)
Tozwi bosomi liboso n’a yawhe (We are free before Yahweh)
