256   O, Yehova Mncedi




[V1]
O, Yehova, Mncedi wethu, Uhleli ukhona
Nqaba yokusikhusela, Ulikhaya lethu.

[V2]
Phambi kwetrone yeNkosi, Sonqaba khon’ apho;
Wohla’ ukho unguThixo, Kus’ ephakadeni.

[V3]
Zingekadalwa iintaba, Nomhlaba ungekho;
Wahlal’ ukho unguThixo, Kus’ ephakadeni.

[V4]
Iminyaka ngeminyaka, Iyadlula njalo,
Phambi kwaKho, bawo wethu, Inje ngemin’ enye.

[V5]
Bawo, Mncedi wethu sonke, Nkosi yaphakade,
Sikhokele ebomini, Ulikhaya lethu.
