1. Ruodha, ok agomb moko, kata mwandu mar piny;
To adwaro ni mondo achopi e polo;
E kitapi mar Ngima, Yesu mond' inyisa,
Kata nyinga ondiki e kitapi kanyo
Ondik nyinga koso, e kitapi maler?
E Kitapi mar Ngima, nyinga nitie koso?
2. An gi richo mang'eny ngang', machalo gi kuoyo;
Kata kamano, Ruodha, Rembi e moromo;
Nikech isesingo ni kata gibed makwar,
Ginibedi matar ngang', moloyo pe matar.
3. Yaye, dalano maber ngang', mangi udi marieny,
Kanyono jo modakie nigi nengni matar;
jomalaika nitie e dala malerno;
Nyinga bende ondiki, e kitapi koso?
NO. 170 NYIMBO ZA KRISTO Jina langu limeandikwa je?
1. Sitafuti mali, wala utajiri;
Nataka kwa yakini nipate Mwokozi.
Chuoni mwa Ufalme, niambie Yesu,
Jina langu yakini limeandikwa, je?
Limeandikwa, je? Jina langu huko?
Kitabuni mbinguni, limeandikwa je?
2. Dhambi zangu ni nyingi, ni kama mchanga,
Lakini damu yako, Mwokozi, yatosha;
Kwani umeahidi; zijapo nyekundu
Zitakuwa nyeupe ilivyo theluji.
3. Mji mzuri sana, wa majumba makuu,
Walipo malaika, mji bila ovu;
Wakaapo walio na mavazi safi,
Limeandikwa sasa, jina langu huko?
NB. Not in SDA Hymnal:
IS MY NAME WRITTEN THERE
1. Lord, I care not for riches, neither silver nor gold;
I would make sure of Heaven, I would enter the fold.
In the book of Thy kingdom, with its pages so fair,
Tell me, Jesus, my Savior, is my name written there?
Is my name written there,
On the page white and fair?
In the book of Thy kingdom,
Is my name written there?
2. Lord, my sins they are many, like the sands of the sea,
But Thy blood, O my Savior, is sufficient for me;
For Thy promise is written, in bright letters that glow,
Though your sins be as scarlet, I will make them like snow.
3. Oh! that beautiful city, with its mansions of light,
With its glorified beings, in pure garments of white;
Where no evil thing cometh to despoil what is fair;
Where the angels are watching, yes, my name’s written there.
