1. Hlwayela mkhonzi kaYehova,

Ozinikeleyo kuye.

Yenza umsebenzi weNkosi,

Xelis’ umzekelo wayo.

Hlwayela imbewu ungoyiki

Ezintliziywen’ ezintle.

Dumisa uThixo ngemisebenzi

Ngokuz’ bhokoxa entsimini.

2. Enye imbewu iya kuwa

Kubantu abalukhuni.

Nangona beya kusabela,

Koba nje kokwexeshana.

Xa loo mbewu iminxwa ngameva

Iya kubuna de ife.

Kanti eny’ imbewu iya kuhluma

Kumhlab’ omhle nothambileyo.

3. Kuxhomekeka kwinkuthalo

Ukuphumelela kwakho.

Ngokuthanda abamelwane,

Ungakwaz’ ukubanceda.

Ungabanceda babe nethemba

Ngokuzibhokoxa kwakho,

Uze ngovuyo ube nesivuno

Es’phindaphindwe kalikhulu.
