1. Yeka uthando l’kaJesu

Lapho eshiya izulu,

Aphile nabantu,

Abafundise

Iqiniso likaYise.

Waba yinduduzo k’bantu,

Welapha abagulayo.

Wathembek’ esabelweni sakhe.

Ngothando wathi: “Ng’yathanda.”

2. Yeka usizo lukaJah

Lwencek’ ethembekileyo,

Esikhonza nayo

Ngokukhuthala,

Kusindiswe abamnene.

Abampofu bangabona

Uma sibathand’ impela.

Uma abampofu bekucela,

Mane nje uthi: “Ng’yathanda.”
