1 A kurekure kumusha?
Ndabvunza murindi, ati,
Usiku hurikupera,
kwakuda kuyedza.
Usacheme, kurumidza,
Mutewere kusimbira;
Muchasvika mukupenya
hakuna kupera.

2 Ndabvunza kune mukani,
anerwiyo rwekushinga,
Ngekushinga ndinokana,
Hondo ichapera.
Musacheme, mutiwire,
dakara basa rapera;
Tinooziwa tinechipo,
Kuti takurira.

3 Ndabvunzazve pasi, zuva,
Zvese zvakandipindura;
Nguva irikundopera,
Jesu anouya.
Musacheme, zviwonisozve
zviri kutinyewera,
Zvisikwa zvese zvinoda
Tsuri imborira.

4 Tiripatyo nekumusha,
Kunofadza kutondera;
Chifarai imwi vafambi,
Bvisanyiwo kutya.
Musacheme, tisangane
apo kusina kuneta,
Zviyedzo’zvo zvakapera,
Tasvika kumusha.

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
