1 Tangu siku hiyo aliponijia,
Akae moyoni mwangu.
Sina giza tena, ila mwanga pia,
Kwa Yesu, Mwokozi wangu.

Refrain:
Amani moyoni mwangu,
Kwa Yesu, Mwokozi wangu.
Sina shaka kamwe
Kwa sababu yeye
Yu nami moyoni mwangu.

2 Sina haja tena ya kutanga-tanga,
Ndiye Kiongozi changu.
Dhambi zangu zote zimeondolewa,
Na Yesu Mwanawe Mungu. [Refrain]

3 Matumaini yangu ni ya hakika,
Katika Mwokozi wangu.
Hofu zangu na hamu zimeondoka,
Kwa kuwa ninaye Yesu. [Refrain]

4 Siogopi tena nikiitwa kufa,
Yu nami daima Yesu.
Mlango wa mbingu ni Yesu Mwokozi,
’Tapita humo kwa damu. [Refrain]

5 Nitaketi na Yesu huko milele,
Nimsifu Mwokozi wangu.
Nina raha moyoni majira yote,
Kwa Yesu Mwanawe Mungu. [Refrain]

Author: Rufus H. McDaniel

Rufus H. McDaniel was ordained in the Christian church in 1873. He found much joy in church music. He began writing hymns in the 1880's. He wrote, "I feel in my soul that God has something for me to do in brightening the experience of struggling souls. My chief desire is to be a blessing, if possible, to my fellow-men through these hymns and thereby glorify God in the name of his dear son 'whose I am and whom I serve.'" Dianne Shapiro, from "The Singers and Their Songs: sketches of living gospel hymn writers" by Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (Chicago: The Rodeheaver Company, 1916) Go to person page >

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
