1 Mwana kondoo ayalipa
madeni ya dunia.
Ayachukua makosa
ya wakosaji wote.
Aenda na kuugua,
anakubali kuchinjwa,
furaha aziacha.
Wanamhukumu wampiga,
wanamukana, wanamtesa,
asema: Nakubali.

2 Mwana kondoo ni Mwokozi
ni mponya wa mioyo,
aliyetumwa na Mungu
awakomboe watu
Mwanangu, nenda okoa
watoto niliotupa,
sababu ya makosa.
Dhambi zao ni nyingi mno;
watolee ukombozi
damu na mwili, wako.

3 "Tayari mimi, Babangu,
nitwishe nichukue.
Maneno uyasemayo
nitafuata yote."
Pendo hili kubwa sana,
lamshika Baba wa mbingu
amtoe mwana wake.
Pendo hili lina nguvu,
linamlaza kaburini
aletaye uzima.

4 Sitasahau pendo hili
Bwanangu siku zote.
Nitakushika daima,
kama unishikavyo.
Mwanga wa roho ni wewe;
roho inapozimia
niwie moyo wangu.
Na tuagane, Bwanangu,
niwe mali yako sasa
na halafu mbinguni.

Lubben, Germany, 1676), famous author of Lutheran evangelical hymns, studied theology and hymnody at the University of Wittenberg and then was a tutor in Berlin, where he became friends with Johann Crüger. He served the Lutheran parish of Mittenwalde near Berlin (1651-1657) and the great St. Nicholas' Church in Berlin (1657-1666). Friederich William, the Calvinist elector, had issued an edict that forbade the various Protestant groups to fight each other. Although Gerhardt did not want strife between the churches, he refused to comply with the edict because he thought it opposed the Lutheran "Formula of Concord," which con­demned some Calvinist doctrines.
