Funeral Hymns

Songs of hope and comfort for Paul Ledama Sekento's memorial service

Verse 1

Wakati nitajikuta, mbinguni kwa baba,
Nitajua ya ulimwengu nimeshayaacha,
Halleluya nitasifu, kufika mbinguni,
Hossana nitaingia kwa shangwe

Chorus

Nitaingia lango lake na sifa moyoni,
Nitaingia kwa shangwe kuu,
Nitasema ni siku njema bwana ameifanya,
Nitafurahi kufika mbinguni

Verse 2

Nchi nzuri nchi safi, kwa baba yangu,
Kuna amani kuna furaha, uko ni kusifu,
Tutakaa na mungu wetu, nchi ya amani,
Hossana nitaingia kwa shangwe

Verse 3

Nitawaona watakatifu, manabii wote
Hata mitume nchi hiyo, nitawaona,
Tutakula meza moja, nchi ya amani,
Hossana nitaingia kwa shangwe

Verse 1

When peace like a river, attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lord, thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well, with my soul

Chorus

It is well
With my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

Verse 2

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come
Let this blest assurance control
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate
And hath shed His own blood for my soul

Verse 3

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, o my soul!

Verse 1

There's a land that is fairer than day,
And by faith we can see it afar,
For the Father waits over the way
To prepare us a dwelling place there.

Refrain

In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.

Verse 2

We shall sing on that beautiful shore
The melodious songs of the blest;
And our spirits shall sorrow no more
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.

Verse 3

To our bountiful Father above
We will offer our tribute of praise
For the glorious gift of His love
And the blessings that hallow our days.

Verse 1

Just as I am, without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidd'st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Verse 2

Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Verse 3

Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Verse 4

Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need, in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Verse 5

Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Verse 6

Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Has broken ev'ry barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

These hymns bring comfort and hope as we celebrate the life of Paul Ledama Sekento and trust in God's promise of eternal life.
