Mamelang mantswe
Hear the voices
1. Mamelang mantswe a matle, A binang ka sebakeng! Na hase a mangeloi A ahileng ka khanyeng? A dumedisa ho tswalwa Ha 'Moloki wa batho; A bina di alleluya, Di alleluya fela.
2. Khanya e be ho Modimo Mahodimong, hodimo; Khotso e be teng lefatsheng, Batho ba hauheloe! Tsatsing lena le tswaletswe, Ka motseng wa Davida, 'Moloki, Kreste, Morena: Alleluya ka mehla!
