Jehova, mo tsamaise

1 . Jehova, mo tsamaise
(Please Lead him God)
Ngwan’a hao ya sepelang
(Your child going astray)
Ke phaila ke tsietswe
Tseleng moo ke hlahlathang.
(I’m just wondering not knowing where to go.)
Jehova, (bis)
(O God!)
Ntate, ke o tshepile.
(bis)
(I trust in You.)

1. Ntate, o se fele pelo
   (My Father don’t give up on me)
   Ha ke ntse ke kheloha;
   (Even though I keep going astray)
   Ho lefifi, ha se booma,
   (It’s so dark out here,)
   Ke timellwa ke tsela.
   (I dont know where to go.)
   Jehova, (bis)
   (O God!)
   Se lese ho ntsamaisa! (bis)
   (Please don’t stop leading me.)

2. Leha ke khoehla mangole,
   (Though my knees are weak,)
   Ke pheela, ke khasa;
   (I Keep striving;)
   Ba heso, ba ntshiile bohle,
   (All my family have left me alone,)
   Na nka lahlwa ke wena?
   (Will You forsake me too?)
   Jehova, (bis)
   (O God!)
   U ntlheke o ntse o mpepa. (bis)
   (Take hold of me.)

3. dira ke di sheba mahlong,
   (My enemies are before me,)
   Ke tsheha ditsietsi;
   (I laugh at my misery;)
   Ha ho tshabo, ha ho dihlong,
   (I have no fear nor shame,)
   U ho ‘na, ha ke ‘notshi;
   (I am not alone;)
   Jehova, (bis)
   (O God!)
   U se khaohane le ‘na. (bis)
   (Don’t forsake me.)

4. Ha ke tshela noka e ntsho,
   (When i go though the valley of the shadow of death,)
   Ke nyahama, ke teba,
   (I have no fear,)
   U mpalamise maqhubu,
   (Lead me through it all,)
   U ntshike ka diatla;
   (Hold me with your Holy hands)
   Jehova, (bis)
   (O God!)
   U mphihlise ha hao le ‘na. (bis)
   (And lead me to life everlasting.)
