Lona ba ratang (You Who Desires) Lyrics by Palesa Manthoko /Rebecca Malope/ Sechaba Padi
(Sung in Sotho – A hymn)
Lona ba ratang ho phela (You who desires to live)
Mohlapeng oa Jesu (Within Jesus’ flock)
Hopolang tsietsi tsa tsela (Remember the trials of the way)
E isang ha eso (That leads home)
(Repeat)
Mohlapeng oa Jesu (Within Jesus’ flock)
Hopolang tsietsi tsa tsela (Remember the trials of the way)
E isang ha eso (That leads home)
(Repeat)
Ba inkele sefapano (They must carry their own cross)
Mahetleng a bona (On their shoulders)
Ba tle ba shoele likano (And die for the covenant)
Tsee ba leng ho tsona (That they they have made)
(Repeat)
Amen amen…
