(Sung in Swahili – A Hymn)

Ni tabibu wa karibu (The great Physician now is near)
Tabibu wa ajabu (The sympathizing Physician)
Na rehema za daima (And with His everlasting Mercy)
Ni dawa yake njema (Is His )

Refrain:
Imbeni, malaika (Sweetest note in seraph song)
Sifa za Yesu Bwana (Sweetest Name on mortal tongue)
Pweke limetukuka (Sweetest carol ever sung)
Jina lake Yesu (The Name of Jesus)

Hatufai kuwa hai (We are not supposed to be alive)
Wala hatutumai (Neither have hope)
Ila kweli yeye ndiye (But in only in Him)
Atupumzishaye (Do we find our rest)

Dhambi pia na hatia (All our sins and guilt)
Ametuchukulia (He has forgiven us all)
Twendeni na amani (Let us go our way in peace)
Hata kwake Mbinguni (Until His Heaven)

Huliona tamu jina (How sweet is the Name)
La Yesu Kristo Bwana (Of Jesus Christ our Lord)
Yuna sifa mwenye kufa (He has praise the one who died)
Asishindwe na kufa (Who defeated death)

Kila mume asimame (Every man should stand)
Sifa zake zivume (So His praises may spread)
Wanawake na washike (The women too should continue)
Kusifu jina lake (To praise His Holy Name)

(Sung in Swahili)

Baba, jina lako linaponya (Father, Your Name heals)
Baba, jina lako lakomboa (Father, Your Name saves)
Baba, jina lako linaosha (Father, Your Name cleanses)
Baba, jina lako la uzima (Father, Your Name is life)

Kwake Yesu, kwake Yesu (In Jesus, in Jesus) x2
Sifa zote pokea (Receive all the praises)
Hata kinywa changu kitangaze (Even my mouth proclaims)
Jina lake, jina lake (His great Name)

Jina la Baba na la Mwana na Roho mtakatifu (The Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit)
Jina la Baba na la Mwana na Roho mtakatifu (The Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit)

Wapi nitaenda, wacha kusikia (Where can I go that I cannot hear)
Makuu tena Baba, umetutendea (The great things that the Father has done for us)
Itabidi nitangaze (It is a mush that I announce)
Milimani, sauti nipaze (From the mountains to raise my voice)
Ukaniokoa toka tundu la simba! (That You saved me from the lion’s den)
Lipi lisilowezeka kwa Jina lako? (What is impossible with Your Name?)
Ukaahidi kwamwe sitoaibika (You promised that I will not be ashamed)
Lipi lisilowezekana kwa Jina lako? (What is impossible to Your Name?)

(Refrain)

Tuimbe, tuimbe tukimsifu Bwana wetu (Let us sing in praise of our Lord)
Tuimbe, tuimbe tukimchezea Bwana wetu (Let us sing and dance for our Lord) (Repeat)

(Refrain)
