(Sung in Swahili – A hymn)

Refrain:
Kuoshwa kwa damu (Are you washed in the blood)
Itutakasayo ya kondoo (In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb)
Ziwe safi nguo nyeupe mno (Are your garments spotless – white as snow?)
Umeoshwa kwa damu ya kondoo? (Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?)

Wamwendea yesu kwa kusafiwa (Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?)
Na kuoshwa kwa damu ya kondoo (Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?)
Je, neema yake umemwagiwa? (Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?)
Umeoshwa kwa damu ya kondoo (Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?)

(Refrain)

Wamwandama daima mkombozi (Are you walking daily by the Savior’s side?)
Na kuoshwa kwa damu ya kondoo (Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?)
Yako kwa msulubiwa makazi (Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?)
Umeoshwa kwa damu ya kondoo (Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?)

(Refrain)

Atakapokuja bwana arusi (When the Bridegroom cometh)
Uwe safi kwa damu ya kondoo (Will you be washed in the blood of the Lamb?)
Yafae kwenda mbinguni mavazi (Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright,)
Yafuliwe kwa damu ya kondoo (And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?)

(Refrain)

Yatupwe yaliyo na takataka (Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin)
Na uoshwe kwa damu ya kondoo (And be washed in the blood of the Lamb)
Huo ni kijito chatiririka (There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean)
Na uoshwe kwa damu ya kondoo (Oh, be washed in the blood of the Lamb)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Swahili – A Hymn)

Bwana Mungu nashangaa kabisa (O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder)
Nikifikiri jinsi ulivyo (Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made)
Nyota, ngurumo, vitu vyote pia (I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder)
Viumbavyo kwa uwezo wako (Thy power throughout the universe displayed)

Refrain:
Roho yangu na ikuimbie (Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee)
Jinsi wewe ulivyo mkuu (How great Thou art, how great Thou art)
Roho yangu na ikuimbie (Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee)
Jinsi wewe ulivyo mkuu (How great Thou art, how great Thou art)

Nikitembea pote duniani (When through the woods, and forest glades I)
Ndege huimba nawasikia (Wander and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees)
Milima hupendeza macho sana (When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur)
Upepo nao nafurahia (And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze)

(Refrain)

Nikikumbuka vile wewe Mungu (And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing)
Ulivyompeleka mwanao (Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in)
Afe azichukue dhambi zetu (That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing)
Kuyatambua ni vigumu mno (He bled and died to take away my sin)

(Refrain)

Yesu Mwokozi atakaporudi (When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation)
Kunichukua kwenda mbinguni  (And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart)
Nitaimba sifa zako milele (Then I shall bow, in humble adoration)
Wote wajue jinsi ulivyo (And then proclaim My God, how great Thou art!)

U mwendo Gani Nyumbani? (How Far from Home?) Hymn Lyrics (Wimbo 158)

(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)
