1. Nkosi Jehova,

Lukufanele lonke udumo,

Zilungile indlela zakho.

Wena ulamandla amakhulu,

Kanye lothand’ ol’khulu.

2. Baba ulesihawu es’khulu.

Siluthuli kodwa wena

Nkos’ uyasithanda,

Sizwe lapho sikhuleka kuwe.

S’fundise us’qondise.

3. Indalo yonk’ iyakudumisa,

Lathi sizakudumisa

Zonke izinsuku.

Ufanelwe ludum’ olukhulu,

Ngob’ unguNkulunkulu.
