NDENZEL' UNCEDO HYMN 377 LYRICS WITH TRANSLATION BY JOYOUS 25

Esethu & Choir

hlala nami (stay by me oh Lord)

litshonile ilanga (the sun has set)

ubusuku bufikile, Nkosi (the night is here)

mandingasali ndingenaye uMncedi (may I not be left alone with no Helper)

ndiyenzele uncedo ngokuhlala nami (be my Mercy/Helper and stay by me)

Esethu Solo

buyakhawuleza obo bomi bami (my life is moving fast and ending)

ndiyasiywa zezomhlaba izinto (things of the world be leaving me)

ndibona iiguquleko, zodwa (all I see is changes only)

Wena ongaguqukiyo hlala nami (you, the never changing God stay by me)

1. If the path I travel Lead me to the cross, If the way Thou choosest Lead to pain and loss, Let the compensation Daily, hourly, be Shadowless communion, Blessed Lord, with Thee. 2 If there's less of earth joy, Give, Lord, more of heaven. Let the spirit praise Thee, Though the heart be riven; If sweet earthly ties, Lord, Break at Thy decree, Let the tie that binds us, Closer, sweeter, be. 3 Lonely though the pathway, Cheer it with Thy smile; Be Thou my companion Through earth's little while; Selfless may I live, Lord, By Thy grace to be Just a cleans�d channel For Thy life through me.
