(Sung in Zulu – A Partial Hymn)
Kungaba yini manje (What could it be that)
Ezongibamba la? (Can stand n my way?)
Ngiyafuna ihliziyo (I desire a heart)
Emhlophe ithe qhwa (That is white as snow)
Ngokuba kungengene (For it is forbidden)
Ekhaya le ‘liya (In that House)
Into engcolileyo, na yodwa (Anything that is unclean) (Repeat)
Mhla sobasingenile (On the day we enter)
Sibon’ umuzi le (And see that heavenly home)
Nay’ uMsindisi wethu (And our Savior)
Nobuhle buthe hle (And all the beautiful splendor)
Sokhipha nant’ igama (We will exclaim these words)
Ngokumangala he: (In amazement, saying:)
“Angitshelwanga noma inxenye” (“I was never told even half of it”) (Repeat)
Sengiyacela Nkosi (Lord I plead)
ukuba ngiphiwe ke (That I may be given)
Lamandl engiwadinga (The strength that I need)
Ukuba ngifike le (So that I may make it there)
Nokuba izilingo (Even though the temptations and trials)
Zingihaqile ke (Surround me on every side)
Ngiyahluleka uma, uma ngingedwa (I will fail, if I am on my own) (Repeat)
Ngiyahluleka uma, ngingedwa! (I will fail if I am alone!)
Ngiyahluleka uma, uma ngingedwa (I will fail if, if I am on my own) (Repeat)
