NGINGOWEZIZWE
Hymn 325 Amagama Okuhlabelela
(The King's Business)

1.Ngingowezizwe, anginalutho la,
Kithi kukude le, akusinjenga la;
Ngiyisithunywa sikaJehova,
Ngilapha ngezwi lakho, Nkos'.

REFRAIN:
Yileli izwi lakho, Nkos',
Alithunywanga nangelos',
Maniphenduke nize kuJehova,
Manibuyele kuThixo.

2.Umthetho ukubantu bonke bezwe-nje
Bashiye umsebenzi wabo om'bi lo,
Yikhona bangahlala noJehova,
Yilona izwi lakho, Nkos'. 

3.Ukudla kwelakithi okwamehlo nje,
Kukhona nokuphil' okuphakade le,
Nabantu bangahlala noJehova,
Yiwon' amazwi akho, Nkos'.

THE KING'S BUSINESS

Author: Florence Hamilton Cassel;
Elijah Taylor Cassel (1902)
Translated by: G. A. Wilder

1.I am a stranger here, within a foreign land;
My home is far away, upon a golden strand;
Ambassador to be of realms beyond the sea,
I’m here on business for my King.

REFRAIN:
This is the message that I bring,
A message angels fain would sing:
“Oh, be ye reconciled,”
Thus saith my Lord and King,
“Oh, be ye reconciled to God.”

2.This is the King’s command: that all men, everywhere,
Repent and turn away from sin’s seductive snare;
That all who will obey, with Him shall reign for aye,
And that’s my business for my King.

3.My home is brighter far than Sharon’s rosy plain,
Eternal life and joy throughout its vast domain;
My Sov’reign bids me tell how mortals there may dwell,
And that’s my business for my King.
