Joko ya hao e bobebe
E nkholla pelo
Tumelo ho nna ke thebe

(English - Your Burden is Light)
Your burden is light
It lifts my heart
My belief is my shield
That saves me from death
I have found happiness
In the Lord’s route
Enemies have scattered
He has defeated them for me
I’ll wait with expectation
And trust in heaven
When I’m tired, the Lord will carry me.

5.　A Place In Heaven

Do I have a place in heaven
where Jesus is the King
Oh my Lord! You are my Savior, my King and my Lord

I can hear the angels in heaven
all singing Hallelujah
Oh my Lord! You are my saviour, my king and my Lord

6.　I Bid You Goodnight

Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest
I wanna lay your head upon your Savior's breast

I love you, but Jesus loves you best
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

One of these mornings bright in the sun, goodnight
Now they're pickin' up the spirit to the shore beyond, goodnight
Go walking in the valley of the shadow of death, goodnight
His rod and his staff they comfort me, goodnight
Join the wise, sing a song and say, goodnight
Lord send a fire, not a flood next time, goodnight
I remember right well, I remember right well, goodnight
I'm walking in Jerusalem just like John, goodnight
