Limnand’igama, loJesu (The Name of Jesus is so sweet)
Limnand’igama, selimnandi igama lakho (It is sweet, Your Name is Sweet)
Limnand’igama, loJesu (The Name of Jesus is so sweet)
Selimnandi igama lakho (Your Name is sweet)

O Jesu! Limnandi igama (Oh Jesus! The Name is sweet)
Selimnandi igama lakho  (Your Name is sweet) (Repeat)

Izilingo ohmhlaba, asisoze (The worldly trials, will never)

Uthemb’ isile, umnini mandla onke (For our hope is in You, All-powerful God) (Repeat)

Bamba mzalwane, O uyeza (Hold firm brother, Oh He is coming) x3
