314   Ukholo Luloyiso




[V1]
Nijikelwe kukhanya nje, Vukani ma-Kristu,
Nilwe ngexesha lemini, Kungekabi mnyama;
Masifunze ngamandl'onke, Silubinz' utshaba;
Soyise, ngokholo, Siyaz' Loyis' ihlabathi.

[C]
Luyoyis' ukholo; Luloyiso lozuko, Loyis' ihlabathi.
Luyoyis' ukholo!

[V2]
Intshinga yakhe luthando, Ikrele li-Lizwi,
Sisendlelen' yabangcwele, Sihamba siduma;
Sihamba njenge-saqhwithi, Sitshayel' umhlaba;
Ukhol' abeyisa ngalo, Lulikhaka lethu.

[C]
Luyoyis' ukholo; Luloyiso lozuko, Loyis' ihlabathi.
Luyoyis' ukholo!

[V3]
Sibon' utshaba macala Luphahle indlela;
Kushiyeni ukonwaba, Nibe sekulweni;
Thwalan' isigcina-ntloko, Bhinqan' inyaniso,
Nyathelani ningoyiki Nitsholoz' udumo.

[C]
Luyoyis' ukholo; Luloyiso lozuko, Loyis' ihlabathi.
Luyoyis' ukholo!

[V4]
Lowo weyisa utshaba, Wotsho ngezimhlophe;
Woyiqonda lonto yena, Livunywe igama;
Az' ahlale ekukhanyen', Evutha luthando;
Siya kulugxoth' utshaba Ngegama le-Mvana.

[C]
Luyoyis' ukholo; Luloyiso lozuko, Loyis' ihlabathi.
Luyoyis' ukholo!
