Here lies a child of God
A light into the dark
A pilgrim on the journey homeward
Who lived a good and faithful servant
Though we may mourn and weep
With confidence believe
Death has no claim or cause to boast here
Salvation has the final word here
Though we may mourn and weep
With confidence believe
Death has no claim or cause to boast here
Salvation has the final word here
Nceku ya Jehova usungalala usungalala
(Servant of God, you can rest now, you can rest now)
Abusekho ubuhlungu nokukhala nokukhala
(There's no more pain and no more weeping, no more weeping)
Nceku ya Jehova usungalala usungalala
(Servant of God, you can rest now, you can rest now)
Abusekho ubuhlungu nokukhala nokukhala
(There's no more pain and no more weeping, no more weeping)
Qhawe lama qhawe usebenzile, usebenzile
(Hero amongst heroes you did well, you did well)
Umqhele wokuphila ukulindile, ukulindile
(A crown of life awaits you)
