Ngulya mulyango wajulwa,mukuti mula mweka;
Cingano camufuli,luyando lwa li bonya.
O depth of mercy! Can it be
That gate was left ajar for me?
For me ,for me
Was left ajar for me?
Nachiswililwa fye bonse bafwayo kupusuka
Bapina na bakankala,mishobo ne mitundu
Yangu uluse lukalamba chipata canjiswililwe;
Ukwi-silwa ine
Press onward ,then, though goes may frown;
While mercy's gate is open
Accept the cross,and win the crown
Love is everlasting token.
O depth of mercy! Can it be
That gate was left ajar for me?
For me ,for me
Was left ajar for me?
