(Sung in Swahili – A Hymn)

Kijito cha utakaso ni damu ya Yesu (The cleansing river is the Blood of Jesus)
Bwana anao uwezo kunipa wokovu (The Lord has the authority to grant me salvation)
Viumbe vipya naona, Damu ina nguvu (I see new beings, the Blood is powerful)
Imeharibu uovu, uliyo dhulumu (It has destroyed the evil that harm)

Refrain:
Kijito cha utakaso (The cleansing river)
Nizame kuoshwa humo (That I may be immersed and cleansed there)
Namsifu Bwana kwa hiyo (I praise the Lord because)
Nimepata utakaso (I have received the cleansing) (Repeat)

Naondoka kutembea, nuruni mwa mbingu (I have left to walk, under the heavenly lights)
Na moyo safi kabisa kumpendeza Mungu (With a clean heart that pleases God)
Ni neema ya ajabu kupakwa na damu (What a great Grace to be anointed by the blood)
Na Bwana Yesu kujua Yesu wa msalaba (Of The Lord, and to know Jesus of the Cross!)

(Refrain)

(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)

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)
