Ebusheni Bami

Yek' ubuhle bokukholwa nguMsindisi wam'.
La bungakadlul' ubusha bami;
Ngisemusha, ithambile inhliziyo yam'
Iyamthanda yen' uMhlobo wami.
Yek' ubuhle bokumazi ebusheni bam',
Ukumthand' uJesu, uMsindisi;
Nxa ngimdala kudlulile konk' okuhle kwam'.
Umi name enguMthokozisi.
Yek' ubuhle buhle bokumkhonza ebusheni bam'.
Ukumsebenzel' uNkulunkulu;
Akadeli nokumkhonza okuncane kwam'.
Umi name enguMthokozisi.
Njengenyoni engenasidleke,
Ngangizula ngindind' emhlabeni,
Nans' indawo, sengiyifumene,
Emthunzini wases'phambanweni.
Inhliziyo yila ifumana
Ubumnandi bohando nomusa.
Nawe, mngane, uJes' usabiza:
"Woza kimi, ngiyokuphumuza."

Ebusheni Bami

How beautiful it is to believe in my Saviour
When the freshness of my youth could pass;
When I was young, my heart was tender
And loved my friend.
How beautiful to know you in my youth,
To love you Jesus, my Saviour;
When I am old and all my comeliness is gone
You will be with me as my Comforter.
How beautiful it is to serve you in my youth.
To work for God;
Praise him and my little service too.
You will be with me as my Comforter.
Like a bird without a nest,
I wandered up and down the earth,
Here is the place, I have found it,
In the shadow of the cross.
The heart that can find
The sweetness of your love and grace.
And you, my friend, Jesus still calls:
"Come to me, I will give you rest."
