1 Ngubani olikholiweyo ilizwi lethu,
2 Wakhula phambi kwakhe njengehlumela,
3 Weyiswa njalo waliwa ngabantu,
4 Ngempela wathatha inhlungu zethu
5 Kodwa wagwazwa ngenxa yezono zethu,
6 Thina sonke silahlekile njengezimvu,
7 Wancindezelwa wahlutshwa,
8 Ngokuncindezelwa langokwahlulela wathathwa.
9 Wabelwa ingcwaba kanye lababi,
10 Ikanti kwakuyintando kaThixo ukumchoboza lokumenza ahlupheke,
11 Emva kokuhlupheka komoya wakhe,
12 Ngakho-ke ngizamnika isabelo phakathi kwabakhulu,
