Hlengiwe

Representative Text

1 Hlengiwe—Limnandi lelizwi
Hlengiwe ngegazi leMvana
Hlengiwe ngomusa nothando
Ngenziwe sengaba umntwana.

Chorus:
Hlengiwe, hlengiwe
Hlengiwe ngegazi leMvana
Hlengiwe hlengiwe
Ngenziwe sengaba umntwana.

2 Hlengiwe—O yek’intokozo
Ulimi lungephumisele
Lokh’engikuzwayo enhlizweni
Kumnandi, kumnandi, Ingcwele! [Chorus]

3 Ngimkhumbul’ uJesu umhlengi
Ngimkhumbul’ amalanga onke
Ngihuba ngihamb’endleleni
Ihubo lezinsuku zonke. [Chorus]

4 Ngiyazi ngombona masinya
Ishilo kanjalo inkosi
Nxa eselilanda ibandla
O, yek’ ubukhul’ ubukhosi. [Chorus]

5 Ngiyazi ikhona nem’qhele
Eyibekele abayo
Izowaqhela amaqhawe
Ngosuk’olukhul’oluzayo. [Chorus]
