185. Ukuba Khona

Si yokhuluma ngekhaya, Nelizw’ elivundileyo,
Ilizwe lakhona lihle, Nokuhlala khona kuhle!
Si khuluma ngezindlela; Nangendong’ ezikhanyayo,
Li yamangalisa lona Kunjan’ ukuhlala khona.

Si yasho akuko sono, Nosizi nokuhlupheka;
Laph’ izilingo azikho, Kunjan’ ukuhlala khona!
Si yakhuluma ngothando, Nezingub’ ezambathwayo.
Ibandla loqobo lile, O kuhl’ ukuhlala khona!.

Ngi lungile lapha mina; Ngize ngi ye ezulwini,
Masinyane ngi zokuzwa, Ubumnandi bakhona le.
Si zohamb’ emasimini, Ngobukhosi obukhulu,
Izingelosi za khona, Kanye noJesu ngokwAkhe.
