(Sung in Sotho – A hymn)

Lona ba ratang ho phela (You who desires to live)
Mohlapeng oa Jesu (Within Jesus’ flock)
Hopolang tsietsi tsa tsela (Remember the trials of the way)
E isang ha eso (That leads home)
(Repeat)

Ba inkele sefapano (They must carry their own cross)
Mahetleng a bona (On their shoulders)
Ba tle ba shoele likano (And die for the covenant)
Tsee ba leng ho tsona (That they they have made)
(Repeat)

Amen amen…

Dumisani uYehova, zizwe zonke Hallelujah (Praise the Lord, all you nations)
Mbongeni, mncomeni njalo (Praise and thank Him, always)

Baba singayaphi uma singasuka kuwe?

Siyazithoba phambi, kwetrone yakho yomusa

As a sign of surrendering to you

Owanigelwa le EGolgotha (was brought to Golgotha)
Ngezono zam’ nezabantu bonke (Because of mine and all mens’ sins)
(Repeat)

Chorus:
Hay’ imvana eyophayo (Oh the lamb that bled)
Yahlatshelwa thina, thina (That was crucified for us, for us)
Hay’ uMmeli wabonayo (The sinners’ representative)
Wasifela thina (Died for us)
(Repeat)

Hay’ uMmeli wabonayo (The sinners’ representative)
Wasifela thina (Died for us)

O Wangithwalel’ umqhele (You bore the crown for me)
Lowo mqhele wakuhlaba (That crown pierced you)
Kuze ngibe nokwethaba(I’m in awe of you (?))
Wawungenasici Jesu (You were without sin Jesus)
Wawumuhle mhlaba-hlosi (You were perfect in your splendour)
Kepha wakudela konke (Yet you gave it all up)
Ngazo zonk’ izono zethu (Because of our sins)

Bayede Nkosi yam’, Bayede Nkosi yam’ (Hail/salute/glory to my God)

Nami ngiyathandwa (And I am loved)
Ngingubani? Bayede! (Who Am I? Hail)

Bayede Nkosi yam’, Bayede Nkosi yam’ (Hail/salute/glory to my God)
