UKristu Engomeni · Christ in Song IsiXhosa
144. Kumhlaba Ophakamileyo
Indlela yam iyenyuka, Yonk’ imihla iyenyuka;
Ndithandaza onk’ amaxa, "Nkosi mandityalwe nguWe."
*CHORUS
Ndiphakamise ndime, Nkos’, Ngokholo ndibe phezulu,--
Kunoko ndakha ndanjalo; Nkosi ndityale phezulu.*
Andithandi kuhlal’ apho Kukho amathandabuzo;
Noxa bambi bangahlala, Ndise kumhlab’ ophezulu.
Mandiphile ndikhuselwe Kwezo ntolo zika-Sathan;
Kub’ ukholo lwenz’ intsholo, Kwingoma yabo bangcwele.
Ndinqwenela ukuntinga ’Ze ndibone olozuko;
Ndithandazela izulu, "Ndiphakamise Nkosi yam."
