Nijue pendo lake na (More of His love and)
Wokovu wake kamili (More of His saving fullness see)

Wokovu wake kamili (More of His saving fullness see) (Repeat)
Nataka nione Yesu (More about Jesus let me learn)

Anenapo kitabuni (Spirit of God, my teacher be)
Kujidhihirisha kwangu (Showing the things of Christ to me)
(Refrain)
Nataka nifahamu (More about Jesus, in His Word)
Na nizidi kupambanua (Holding communion with my Lord)
Mapenzi yake nifanye (Hearing His voice in every line)
Yale yanayompendeza (Making each faithful saying mine)

Nataka nikae naye (More about Jesus on His throne)
Kwa mazungumzo zaidi (Riches in glory all His own)
Nizidi kuwaonyesha (More of His kingdom’s sure increase)
Wengine wokovu wake (More of His coming, Prince of Peace)
