235   Labuya Ilanga Elingcwele




[V1]
Labuya ilanga elingcwele, U-Yehova walusikelela;
KwanjengaYe, wathi masiphumle, Silwenze ngcwele, Kubekh’ uxolo.

[V2]
Masigcine lo mhla waKhe ngcwele
Sifunde sithobele iNkosi; Iyakuva ukucenga kwethu
Ingoma nemithandazo yethu.

[V3]
Nkosi yamazwe onke mamela,
Yiva izwe labantwana baKho; Mabakhumbul’amadinga
aKho, Thulul’ inceba kubantu baKho

[V4]
Baw’ osezulwini, Themba lethu, mandla aKho likhaka
lethu; UnguMlindi nomkhokeli wethu, Udumo kuWe ngonaphakade.
