1. Ke tla tseba jwang hoba ke tshwaretswe Be tsohle tsa ka le tsa bonyenyane? Ho 'na ke phahlo e boima hampe; Di kaa ka lehlabathe la lewatle.

2. Ke tla tseba jwang hoba ke dumetse Ka tumelo e phelang, ya sebele? Satan'o ntshela ka dipelaelo; O re, ha ke na ho phema timelo.

3. Ke tla tseba jwang ha Moya o ntswetse Ka tswalo ya bobedi, ke nchafetse, Ha ke sa fumana pelo ya nama E rata ka mehla ho 'na e mpusa?

4. Ke tla tseba jwang hoba bitso la ka Le ngodiloe ka ukeng ya bophelo, Hore ke baloe har'a majalefa A tla ja bophelo ba lehodimo?

5. O ka tseba hantle, ngwan'a Morena, Ha o rata Jesu le bana beno; Ho tsohle lerato ke ntho e kholo, Lerato ka mehla, lerato fela.

English translation

1. How will I know that I am saved If all my little things? To me, it is a heavy burden; They are like the sand of the sea.

2. How will I know that I believe With a living, genuine faith? Satan brings me doubts; He says, I have no way to escape death.

3. How will I know when the Spirit touches me With a second birth, I am renewed, When I no longer find the heart of flesh That always loves to push me away?

4. How will I know that my name Is written in the book of life, That I may be counted among the righteous Who will eat the bread of heaven?

5. You can know for sure, child of the Lord, If you love Jesus and these children; In all things, love is the greatest thing, Love always, love only.
