220   O Izwe lasekhaya!




[V1]
O, izwe lasekhaya, ‘Zwe lenkululeko;
Khon’ akukho busuku, Lizwe lokukhanya.
Xa ndicing’ ekhaya Iyakhal’ intliziyo,
Kwikhaya lam endinalo, Akukho buhlungu
Kwikhaya lam endinalo, Akukho buhlungu.

[V2]
‘Nkosi yam isekhaya, Nengelosi zonke,
Akukho sono khona, Akukho zilingo.
‘Ngoma zasekhaya ziyahlokoma njalo.
Xa ndikhumbula ikhaya, Kuwa inyembezi
Xa ndikhumbula ikhaya, Kuwa inyembezi

[V3]
Iingelosi ekhaya Zilindile njalo Apho kungekho kufa Kwikhay’ elingcwele
O, izwe lasekhaya Lophumlo noxolo, Kristu sizise ekhaya Siv’ uthando lwaKho.
Kristu sizise ekhaya Siv’ uthando lwaKho.
