Ke Ngwana wa Modimo
1. Ke ngwana Modimo,
O nthumile kwano,
a mpha legae molefatsheng
Batsadi ba lorat’.
Nkaele, mpontshe, tsamay’ le nna
Nthuse go bon’ tsel’.
Nthute tse ke di dirang
Go tshela nae Gape.
2. Ke ngwana Modimo,
Ke tlhok’ gole go ntsi;
Nthuse go itse mantswe’ agw
Pele nak’ e feta.
Nkaele, mpontshe, tsamay’ le nna
Nthuse go bon’ tsel’.
Nthute tse ke di dirang
Go tshela nae Gape.
3. Ke ngwana Modimo.
Tshegofats’ dibeilwe;
Fa ke dira thato yagwe,
Nka tshela nae gape.
Nkaele, mpontshe, tsamay’ le nna
Nthuse go bon’ tsel’.
Nthute tse ke di dirang
Go tshela nae Gape.
