(Sung in Zulu – A hymn)

Yek’iJerusalema, umuzi okhanyayo (Oh Jerusalem, home of light)
Ngingeze ngakubala (I cannot quantify)
Okuhle kaphaya (All the beauty in there) (Repeat)

Akukabonakali (I have never seen)
Kudlula konk’ okunye (Anything else better)
Kumnandi k’lowo muzi (There is joy in that home)
NeNkosi ‘khona le (As the Lord dwells there) (Repeat)

Kuyezwakala khona (There you shall hear)
Ihubo lentokozo (A glorious song)
Baningi abangcwele (From the multitudes of the holies)
‘Bakhona laphaya (That dwell there) (Repeat)

Ofakazel’ uJesu (Witness Jesus)
Ngegazi lakho ‘ukufa (His blood and His death)
Nguye Owakhe khona/lona (By him we are saved)
Yena ukhona le (For He is here (with us)) (Repeat)

Bayaw’phumula khona (They go to rest)
Abahluphekileyo (Those who are afflicted)
Nabo bayadilizwa (Those who have fought the fight)
Inkosi ‘laphaya (Together with their King)(Repeat)

Iyabetheli dili (They will feast there)
Babezwe obumhlophe (And clothed in white robes)
Makube njalo ethi (They will forever proclaim)
iNkosi ‘khona le (The King is there)(Repeat)

(Sung in Luganda)

Wannonda mu nsi eno (You chose me in this world)
Bwenali ntabula obw’omu (When I was walking alone)
Wampita elinya (You called my name)
Dala notafayo kubanafu bwange (Not caring for my weakness)
Wankwaata ku mukono (You held my hand)
Nompisa mu kaseela akaali akazibu enyo (And got me through difficult times)
Yegwe Wannonda kulunaku (It is You who chose me)
Olubi olwokuzilika (On the evil day of fainting)
Obulamu nga bulima ebipapajo (When life was in pieces)
Yengwe Wannonda (You chose me)

Refrain:
(Mukama) Yengwe Wannonda (Lord, You  chose me)
Mukama nga sinaba kukutegela (Before I even knew You, Lord)
Ensi nga tenaba kkumanya (Before the world knew me)
Nompita omwana (You called me Your child)
Kankuwe omutimwa gwange (I give You my heart)
Mukama kanukwe obulamu bwange (Lord, I give You my life)
Taata sikilinaamu buzibu (Father, this is not hard)
Kubanga yegwe wannonda (For it is You who chose me) (Repeat)

Bwe wannonda wakyusa olugelo lwange (You changed my story when You chose me)
Amagenda gange, kanti ndaba gyendaga (And My future, I see now my path)
Sikyakaaba lwanaku (No more tears of sorrow)
Kati nkaaba lwasanyu (I now cry for joy)
Mukama yegwe wannonda (Lord, You chose me)
bwenamenyeka omotuma eli munda (When my heart was broken)

(Refrain)

Kati bwotyo, onabanga Katonda wange (Now You will forever be my God)
Yengwe wannonda (For You chose me)
Lwenamenyeka omutima eli munda (When my heart was broken)
Dala bwotyo (Truly in this way)
Onabanga Musumba wange (You will forever be my Shepherd)
Yegwe Wannonda (For You chose me)
Bwenakaba okujula okuzirika (When I cried until I was faint)

(Refrain)

Roho wako mwenyezi (Your Spirit, Almighty)
Amenifanya jinsi nilivyo (Has made me the way I am)
Pumzi yako, uhai wangu (Your breath, my life)
Umefufua mifupa mikavu (You have resurrected the dry bones)
Uhai umenipa Baba yangu (You have given me life, My Father)
Umetuliza dhoruba (You have calmed the winds)
Wakati wa mawimbi (In the times of storms)

Moyo wangu na ukuiniue wakati (May my heart lift you every time)
Nafsi yangu ikuhimidi kila saa (My soul to praise You every hour)
(Repeat)

Egemeo Baba yangu umbali huu (My Refuge, this far You’ve brought me)
Ninashukuru, Mwamba (I am thankful, the Rock)
Dunia, mbingu ni mwashahidi (Heaven and earth are witnesses)
Umbali huu ni wewe Bwana wa mabwana (This far You have brought me Lord of Lords)
Kwa makubwa, madogo, umbali huu (In great and little things, thus far)

(Sung in Swahili)

Refrain:
Ni nani aliye Mungu, Mungu ila Bwana
(Who is like God, if not the Lord?)
Ni nani aliye Mwamba, Mwamba ila Mungu
(Who is the rock, the Solid Rock if not God?)
Ni Mungu ndiye anifungaye mshipi wa nguvu, aha!
(It’s God who who girds me with strength)
Ni Mungu ndiye kimbilio la unyonge wangu, aha!
(It is God who is my refuge in my weakness)
Naye anaifanya kamilifu njia yangu
(He who makes my path complete)
Ni Mungu ndiye anifungaye mshipi wa nguvu, aha!
(It’s God who who girds me with strength)
Ni Mungu ndiye kimbilio la unyonge wangu, aha!
(It is God who is my refuge in my weakness)
Naye anaifanya kamilifu njia yangu
(He who makes my path complete)

Ni yeye Bwana aliye nguvu zangu nampenda sana
(He is the Lord with the strength, I love Him)
Ni yeye Jabali langu na boma langu na Mwokozi wangu
(He is my rock, my shelter and my Saviour)
Mungu wangu, mwamba wangu ninayemkimbilia
(My God, My rock whom I run to)
Ngao yangu, na pembe ya wokovu wangu, na ngome yangu
(My shield, the cornerstone of my salvation and my refuge)

(Refrain)

Katika shida zangu nilimwita Bwana “ee Bwana”
(In the midst of my trials I call the Lord “Oh Lord”)
Na kumlalamikia Mungu “ee Mungu”
(I bring my complaints to God “Oh God”)
Akaisikia sauti yangu hekaluni mwake
(He heard my voice in His Temple)
Kilio changu kikaingia masikioni mwake
(My cries reached His ears)

(Refrain)

Bwana alinitendea, sawasawa na haki yangu
(Lord dealt with me according to my rights)
Akanilipa sawasawa na haki yangu
(And He repaid me according to my rights)

(Refrain)

Nitamwita Bwana astahiliye kusifiwa
(I shall call upon the Lord who deserves the praise)
Hivyo nitaokoka na adui zangu
(And thus I shall be saved from my enemies)

(Refrain)
