Utlwa sefefo sa moya

1. Utlwa sefefo sa moya
   (Can you see the windstorm)
   Le ho duma ha sona!
   (And its roar!)
   Tsoha, re se re timela,
   (Wake up, we are perishing)
   Re pholose, Morena!
   (Save us Lord!)
   Jo, dillo ha di mo tsose;
   (Why is it that our cries don’t wake You up;)
   O sa ntse a robetse,
   (He is still sleeping)
   ‘Me sekepe se tebile;
   (And the ship is sinking;)
   Jesu, utlwa thapelo!
   (Jesus, please listen to our prayer!)

A khalemela lewatle:
(He rebuked the sea:)
Khutsa hle!
(Be still!)
Sefefo sa ba sa thola;
(The storm immediately stopped;)
Khothalang! (bis)
(Be encouraged!)
Ruri, Jesu ke Morena,
(Jesus is indeed Lord,)
Khothalang!
(Be encouraged!)

1. Morena, metsi a matla
   (Lord, the deep waters)
   A meleko a duma,
   (Are troubling us)
   A patella pelo ya ka,
   Ke tebela ho ‘ona.
   Mahlomoleng a makalo
   Ke tla hweletsa ho mang?
   (To whom will I run to?)
   Ke bitsa ho wena, Jesu,
   (I call upon You Jesus,)
   Wena thuso ya ba llang.
   (You are the answer to all who weep.)

A khalemela lewatle: …
(He rebuked the sea…)

1. Ahe, maru a qhalane,
   (The sky is now clear)
   Letsatsi le chabile,
   (The sun is shining,)
   ‘Me pelo ya ka e bone
   (And my heart has witnessed)
   Pholoso ya Morena!
   (The salvation of the Lord!)
   Ke bea bophelo ba ka
   (I give my life)
   Matsohong a hao, Jesu;
   (Into His hands;)
   U mphelehetse ka mehla
   (Forever lead me)
   Le ka tsatsi la lefu.
   (even unto death.)
