(Sung in Zulu – A Hymn)

Lenan’iZulu ngeculo lam’ (The heavens rejoice because of my song)
Ngithethelelw’ izono zam’ (My sins have been forgiven)
UJesu wafa endaweni yam’ (Jesus died in my place)
Zonk’ izono zami zikude nam’ (And now my sins are far from me)
Njeng’ ehlukane yemphumalanga (As the east is separate)
Mentshonalanga, zikude le’ (And far from the west)
Ushilo njalo,akanamanga (He promised, and he does not lie)
Ngithemba kuye, ngimboga nje (My trust is in Him, I praise Him)

Nal’enjabulo esingenayo (This joy that I have in me)
Ngingeyaphucwe, umuntu qha (No man can take it away)
Noma ngihlezi ngizidla ngayo (Though I sit proud of it .?.)
Imiyalo yakhe, ngab’inzima na (His commands are not difficult)
Uhlala kimi ngihlalo kuye (He lives in me, and I in Him)
Nguyen’owenz’ umsebenzi la (He’s the one works in me)
Ozinikela aphathwe nguye (Whoever surrenders to Him)
Uyamnqobela zonk’ izitha nya (His enemies He will conquer)

Yobeke nawe (Woe unto you) x3
Ongakholwa (The unbeliever)
Uyabizel’ (You who have not been called) x3
Enhlanhleni la (To this great fortune)
Lomus’ongaka …? (This great Grace ?)
Wanele bonke, umusa lo (This Grace is sufficient)

(Sung in Sotho – A Hymn)

Ke sekilwe ke Jeso (I’m leaning on Jesus)
Ke dutse ho yena (I am dwelling in Him)
Fubeng sa hae ka jeno (On His chest today)
Ke ya khatholoha (I find rest)

Ke a pere Lerato (I am wearing Love)
Ka matsatsi ohle (All the days)
Che, ha ke tshohe letho (No, I do not fear anything)
Ke dutse ho yena (I am dwelling in Him)

(Sung in Swahili – A Hymn)

Nionapo amani kama shwari (When peace like a river)
Ama nionapo shida (When sorrows like sea billows roll)
Kwa mambo yote umenijulisha Yesu Wangu
(Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say)
Ni salama rohoni mwangu (It is well with my soul)

Refrain:
Ni salama rohoni (It is well with my soul)
Ni salama rohoni mwangu (It is well with my soul)
(Repeat)

Ingawa shetani ananitesa (Though Satan should buffet)
Nitajipa moyo kwani (Let this blest assurance control)
Kristo ameuona unyonge wangu mwanadamu
(That Christ has regarded my helpless estate)
Amekufa kwa roho yangu (And has shed his own blood for my soul)

(Refrain)

Dhambi zangu zote wala si nusu (My sins not in part but the whole)
Na Yesu zimewekwa msalabani (Is nailed to the Cross)
Wala sichukui laana yake (And I bear it no more)
Ni salama rohoni mwangu (It is well with my soul)

(Refrain)

Ee Bwana himiza moyo wangu siku ya kuja
(O Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight)
Ee Parapanda Yako itakapolia (The trumpet shall resound)
Najua siku utakaposhuka sitaogopa
(I know that when You descend, I shall not fear)
Ee ni salama rohoni mwangu (For it is well with my soul)

(Refrain)
