INKOSI YAMAKHOSI

Uzalelwe esibayeni sezifuyo

Iphunga lobulongwe lemithambiso

Kubambe nki, nki, nki!

Ikwaya yakuqala kwaba yikubhonsa,

Labo m-e-e-e! M-e-e-e!

Waculelwa ngabelusi bemlageni,
Thutshu izingelosi zezulwini zinqolonga,

“Udumo kuNkulunkulu kweliphezulu,

Lokuthula emhlabeni ebantwini …”

Ngoba eyiNkosi yamakhosi!

Wazingelwa yinkosi yakuleyondawo

Ifuna ukumsusela amanqe

Yayisazi ukuthi Lo, uyiNkosi yamakhosi.

Wabalekiswa ngabazali bacatsha eGipithe

Waphepha, wakhula ngenhlakanipho

Ngoba eyiNkosi yamakhosi!

Eletshumi lambili leminyaka ethempelini

Waphikisana waphicana labaFundisi

Egcwele inhlakanipho, lolwazi lokuzwisisa.

Eselamatshumi amathathu eminyaka

Wavangela ngothando esithi, “Phendukani!”

Balalela, abanengi bengazwisisi.

Wafundisa, walaya, wakhuza,

Wasilisa, wavusa abafileyo,

Wakhalimela emibi imimoya

Yaphuma ebantwini iklabalala

Ngoba eyiNkosi yamakhosi!

Wabathanda abantu bengakamthandi

Waba yisoni engesisoni, emsulwa

Uwonkewonke wamphika, kwakhethwa umbulali

Weyiswa, waklolodelwa, wakhafulelwa, watshaywa!

Izipikili kho, kho, kho ezandleni lezinyaweni;

Walengiswa emnqamlezweni lezikliwi

Yena engesisixhwali, njalo engelasici;

Kwazamazam’ umhlaba

Aqhekezeka amadwala,

Ilanga fiphaliyani!

Iveli yethempeli qheke phakathi!

Ngoba eyiNkosi yamakhosi!

Wangcwatshwa, kodwa ngelesithathu

Abalindi behlome bephelele engcwabeni

Kwatholakala ebhalwini nkwe!

Isivukile iNgonyama yoMndeni wakoJuda,

Yankunyayila njalo ingagqize qhakala

Yayisiwufezile umsebenzi wayo,

Yalaya yacokisa njalo

Bayibukela abafundi isenyukela ezulwini

Izakuza njalo isizothatha abayo.

Uzahamba layo wena na?

NguJesu,

UyiNkosi yamakhosi!

Sibuko Mthunzi
