(Sung in Swahili – A Hymn)
Bwana Mungu nashangaa kabisa (O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder)
Nikifikiri jinsi ulivyo (Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made)
Nyota, ngurumo, vitu vyote pia (I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder)
Viumbavyo kwa uwezo wako (Thy power throughout the universe displayed)
Refrain:
Roho yangu na ikuimbie (Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee)
Jinsi wewe ulivyo mkuu (How great Thou art, how great Thou art)
Roho yangu na ikuimbie (Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee)
Jinsi wewe ulivyo mkuu (How great Thou art, how great Thou art)
Nikitembea pote duniani (When through the woods, and forest glades I)
Ndege huimba nawasikia (Wander and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees)
Milima hupendeza macho sana (When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur)
Upepo nao nafurahia (And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze)
(Refrain)
Nikikumbuka vile wewe Mungu (And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing)
Ulivyompeleka mwanao (Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in)
Afe azichukue dhambi zetu (That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing)
Kuyatambua ni vigumu mno (He bled and died to take away my sin)
(Refrain)
Yesu Mwokozi atakaporudi (When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation)
Kunichukua kwenda mbinguni (And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart)
Nitaimba sifa zako milele (Then I shall bow, in humble adoration)
Wote wajue jinsi ulivyo (And then proclaim My God, how great Thou art!)
