Mungu Aliahidi Lyrics [Nyimbo za Injili 197]
1 Mungu aliahidi,
Na kwa fadhili yake;
Tutapata pumziko,
Katika mkono wake.
Kiitikio Tukiona mashaka mengi,
“Tulia”, amri yake,
Roho yangu ina amani,
Katika mkono wake.
2 Ijapo hufahamu,
Na usifadhaike;
Hutasumbuka tena,
Katika mkono wake.
3 Na ukishughulika,
Kwa mambo siku zote;
Roho itapumzika,
Katika mkono wake.
4 Furaha ya ajabu,
Tena amani yake;
Zimeweka tayari
Katika mkono wake.
Equivalent Hymn (English Translation):
In the Hollow of His Hand
1 In the hollow of His hand He will hide me
When doubt and sin draw near,
Though no earthly friend may walk beside me,
I rest secure from fear.
Refrain I know whate’er betide me,
His hand will safely guide me,
His love will ever hide me
In the hollow of His hand.
2 In the hollow of His hand He will hide me
When the storm is on the deep,
And I know whatever may betide me,
His vigil He will keep.
3 In the hollow of His hand He will hide me
When the storms of life sweep by,
To the harbor safe He will guide me,
Where His blessèd islands lie.
