48. SHINA LYA YESU BUSUMA

"How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds"

1. Shina lya Yesu busuma

Ku ba basumino!

Lilefumya ubulanda,

No kutamfyo mwenso.

2. Lileposha abalanda,

Nabo abacula,

Fyakulya ku abansala

Na bo abanaka.

3. 'Libwe lyandya po nakula,

Ni nkwela ya maka,

'Cibikilo icafusha

'Bwingi bwa cikuku.

4. Yesu ni Kakumba wandi,

Ni Mfumu Katula,

Mwine wandi, mweo wandi;

Mubulya mapepo.

5. 'Mutima wandi ushipe,

No luse lwicepa;

Lelo lintu namumona

Nakulamupepa.

6. Nsuke nshimike fya luse

No mweo na maka;

Ne nyimbo she shina lyenu

Shintekyo mutima.
