Hymn 209

Ishe taungana
Muno mumba yenyu;
Uyaiwo, zvatapinda
Ishe mberi kwenyu.

Iyo mwoyo yedu
Yokurwarirai;
Nayo mweya yedu Ishe
Yokutarirai.

Hurukuro dzenyu
Baba, ngatidzinzwe;
Razarurwa dama renyu
Nemi tikunzwei.

Tinatswewo, Ishe,
Isu vanhu venyu;
Kana tafa, tipinzwewo
Mune denga renyu.

Amen.

Hymn 209 is from the Nziyo DzeMethodist neMinamato Hymn book.

Mwari Muna Masimba Ose
Baba waIshe wedu Jesu Kristu
Asingade kufa kwemutadzi
Asi anoregerera avo vanobvuma zvitadariko zvavo
Ndikomborereiwo mugoredzva ratapinda
Kuburukidza nezita raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu
Mwana komana wenyu
Aakakomborerwa
NaMweya Mutsvene
AAAAAAmen!

The prayer above is adapted from Nziyo DzeMethodist NeMinamato - with inputs from my own humble requests to my creator. I know that God exists and that he communicates with his people in various ways.

In my case, one of the ways has been through dreams which are very inspiring as they relate to the word of God and the hymns I used to sing in my primary school days in the 1960s' and at Methodist church services as I grew up and became a parent in Zimbabwe. Although, it is a difefrent story in the UK where I now live, I still worship God, read the Revised Standard Version Bible and sing Methodist Hymns from my Shona Hymn book - my most valuable treasures in the Diaspora.
