Ukusuka esihogweni emhlabeni, apho ukufa, izifo kunye nodandatheko zazilawula kakhulu.
Ngoku ndizifumana ndisezulwini, kuhambo olungalindelekanga kodwa oluyinyani.
Yayiyindawo emnyama, apho ithemba lalibonakala liyinkohliso,
Yonke imihla umthwalo, wonke umoya uthuthumbisa,
Umphefumlo wam ubotshwe ngemixokelelwane yokudandatheka.
Kodwa ke, inguquko, ukuvuka okumangalisayo,
Ndizifumana ndiphakanyiselwe phezulu, ezingalweni zikaNaphakade,
Apho yonke into igqibelele, zonke iinkcukacha ziyilwe nguThixo,
Isibhakabhaka sityhila inani elingenasiphelo lemibala,
Kwaye mna, ndimangalisiwe, ndibona imvisiswano yendalo yonke.
Apha, phakathi kwamafu eparadesi ephinde yafunyanwa,
Ndifumana ubuhle bazo zonke izidalwa, onke amabali, yonke imiphefumlo,
Kobu bukumkani boxolo, ndiyaliqonda ixabiso lothando,
Amandla okwamkela, uvuyo loxolelo.
Ndiyayithanda imfezeko yayo yonke into, kuquka nam,
Okokuqala ndibona ngokucacileyo, ngaphandle kwethunzi okanye amathandabuzo,
Undoqo wam ubonakaliswe kuyilo lwezulu,
Isiqwenga sendalo iphela, esikhethekileyo kwaye sixabisekileyo.
Apha, ekwamkeleni okungapheliyo kwesibhakabhaka,
Ndifumanisa ukuba nawona manxeba anzulu angaphola,
Ukuba zonke iinyembezi zifumene intsingiselo yazo,
Kwaye wonke umzabalazo, yonke intlungu, yayisisandulela
Ukuzalwa ngokutsha okuqaqambileyo, ubomi obungenasiphelo.
Ngoku, kubukhulu boluxolo lwanaphakade,
Ndiyayibhiyozela inguqu yam, ukusuka eluthuthwini ukuya ekukhanyeni,
Kwaye kolu hambo ukusuka ebusuku ukuya emini,
Ndifumana olona thando lunyulu, olona lonwabo lokwenene,
Kwimfezeko yayo yonke loo nto,
Kubandakanywa nam, ekugqibeleni ndikhululekile, ekugqibeleni ndisekhaya.
