Hymn 5 Nkhutari Uli Kukaya?

[V1]
HOW FAR FROM HOME?

**1.**
Nkhutari uli kukaya? Nkhafumba mlinda wakati;
Usiku wamara nadi, nkhumatanda kucha.
Ungaliranga, wendenge mchipulikano cha Yesu;
Pakumalizga ulendo wamfika kuchanya.

**2.**
Ndafumba mlinda wa Khristu, pakwimba iye wakati:
Ndirwenge nkhondo yimarenge luwiro nadi,
Ungaliranga koreska kurwa nkhondo yimarenge;
Wose awo wamkutonda wampokera njombe.

**3.**
Ndafunba charu, dazi na nyanja vikuphara kuti
Nyengo yaneng'enera 'mwe, Yesu wakwizaso;
Ungaliranga vimanyikwiro vyake vyawoneka,
Chilengiwa chose chikulinda kwiza kwake.

**4.**
Kwithu nkhufupi 'mwe sono, ndi mazgu ghakusangwiska,
Ghakufyura masozi gha awo wakulira,
Ungaliranga tamkukumana ntha tamlekanaso;
Pakumara suzgo lose m'nyumba ya wadada.
