(Sung in Swahili – A Hymn) — See Notes below

U mwendo gani nyumbani? (How Far from Home?)
Mlinzi akanijibu (The watchman spake)
“Usiku sasa waisha (“The long, dark night is almost gone)
Macheo karibu (The morning soon will brea.)
Usihuzunike tena (Then weep no more)
Bali ulemee mwendo (But speed thy flight)
Hata ushike ufalme (Till thou shalt reach the realms of light)
Kule mwangani juu (In everlasting day)
Na tena niliuliza (I asked again)
Nchi yote ikajibu (The earth with one voice, made reply)
“Sasa mwendo watimia (“Time’s wasting sands are nearly run)
Milele karibu (Eternity is nigh)
Usihuzunike tena (Then weep no more)
Ishara kuu zasonga (Portentous sights are thick’ning round)
Na viumbe vyangojea (The whole creation, waiting, groans)
Sauti ya Bwana (To hear the trumpet sound)

Nikamuuliza shujaa (I asked the warrior on the field)
Ndivyo kanitia moyo (This was his soul-inspiring song)
“Shikilia mapigano (“With courage bold, the sword I’ll wield)
Kitambo yaisha (The battle is not long)
Usihuzinike tena (Then weep no more)
Kazi ifanywe kwa moyo ( But well endure the conflict)
Tumeahidiwa na tunu (For this we know, the prize is sure,)
Tuishaposhinda” (When victory is won.”)

Siyo mbali na nyumbani (Not far from home! )
Fikara tamu njiani (O blessed thought!)
Latupoza roho nalo (The trav’ler’s lonely heart to cheer)
Lafuta machozi (Which dried the mourner’s tear )
Usihuzunike tena (Then weep no more)
Kitambo tutakutana (Since we shall meet)
Wenye furaha kamili (Our joys complete)
Nyumbani mwa Baba (Safe in our Father’s home)

Usihuzunike tena(Then weep no more)
Kitambo tutakutana (Since we shall meet)
Wenye furaha kamili(Our joys complete)
Nyumbani mwa Baba (Safe in our Father’s home)

(Sung in Swahili)

Una wasiwasi, hofu na mashaka (You are anxious, fearful and doubful)
Unahisi moyoni kama Mungu kakuacha (You feel as if God has abandoned you)
Mara unaona hausongei, wala huendelei (You see that you are not advancing)
Uko pale pale kila siku (But remain in place every day)
Uko vile vile (You are how you were) (Repeat)

Mungu aliyeanzisha safari tena ataimaliza (The God who started your journey will complete it)
Na ahadi zote alizosema yeye atazitimiza (He will fulfill all the promises that He made)
Mara alikujua kabla haujajijua, kabla hujazaliwa (For He knew You before You knew yourself, before you were born)

Mungu hawezi kukuacha njiani (God will not abandon you on the way)
Safari yako alianzisha mwenyewe (He is the one who started You on your journey)
Asingetaka angekuacha mwanzoni (If He didn’t want, He would’ve abandoned you at the beginning)
Unakokwenda yeye anajua (He knows where you are headed) (Repeat)

Ulikotoka unakokwenda (Anaijua) (Where you are from, where you are headed (he knows))
Anajua, Anajua (He knows, he knows)
Atainyosha njia yako (He will straighten your paths)
Haina mabonde (kweli), Haina vikwazo (dhiki) (So that it would not have hills, barriers and tribulations)
Atainyosha njia yako (He shall straighten your paths)

(Sung in Swahili)

Refrain:
Ni poa kuwa na rafiki kama Yesu (It is good to have a Friend like Jesus)
Ukianguka kwa shimo anakutoa (When you fall into a hole, He rescues you)
Ni poa kuwa na rafiki kama Yesu (It is good to have a Friend like Jesus)
Ukiwa mwenye dhambi, anakuokoa (If You are a sinner, He saves you)

Na je, rafiki yako akisikia (Should your Friend hear)
Kwamba ndugu yako ameaga dunia (That your brother has passed away)
Siku ya nne, anatokea (He will show up on the fourth day)
Na ndugu yako, rafiki anamfufua (Your brother, your Friend will raise him)

Na je, rafiki yako ukimwambia (Should you tell your Friend)
Ati hujalipa kodi, wanatukujia (That You have not paid taxes, they’re coming for you)
Anakutuma kafungue mdomo wa samaki (He sends you to open a fish’s mouth)
Hapo ndani kuna mapeni, lipa kodi (Inside it there is money, pay your taxes)

(Refrain)

Imagine, Rafiki amaye haogopi (Imagine a Friend that does not fear)
Imagine, Rafiki ambaye hatoroki (Imagine a Friend that does not flee)
Imagine, Rafiki ambaye hakuwachi (Imagine a Friend that will not abandon you)
Hata maji rafiki yanamtii (Even the waters obeys Him)

Mawimbi yakija, rafiki anakemea, kemea (When the waves come, Friend rebukes them)
Juu ya maji, rafiki anatembea, tembea (On water, the Friends walks)
Hakuna jambo Yesu linamlemea, lemea (There is nothing impossible to Jesus)
Yesu ni Rafiki, anakungojea (Jesus is a Friend, He is waiting for You)

(Refrain)

Response: I am blessed/ Me y3 nhyira
I dare you to say that
Decree it in the atmosphere
Lift your hands up and say
The seed that you sow, it’s blessed by the Lord
Your family is blessed
Everything you touch is blessed
Your Father is rich, He holds the whole world in His hands
He’s got the power to bless you abundantly
Favor is on your life, Favor is on your house

The blessing of the Lord maketh rich
The blessing of the Lord maketh rich
I am blessed, I am blessed in the city
I am blessed, I’m blessed in the fields
My family is blessed
I am blessed

(From the top)

The blessing of the Lord maketh rich
The blessing of the Lord maketh rich
I am blessed, I am blessed in the city
I am blessed, I’m blessed in the fields
I’m blessed when I come and when I go
Devils bow at the Name of Jesus
You are an Overcomer, you are the head and not the tail
Eh, I prophesy, Eh I am blessed
You are the head and not the tail
You are above and not beneath
God said you are the leader and not the follower
I am blessed

The blessing of the Lord maketh rich
The blessing of the Lord maketh rich
Ah You are blessed
