Lebitso le rategang
*****
Here are the lyrics to this song with English translations as posted on that video's viewer comment thread by Sally Kay (2013) who also wrote "Pastor Solly Mahlangu sings in the Zulu language and Pastor Keke Phoofolo sings in Sesotho, those are the most common spoken languages in South Africa, besides English of course. God Bless!"
LEBISO LE RATEGANG
Zulu lyrics:
Liphi eliny'igama? (Whose Name is it?)
Esisindiswa ngalo na? (Which one brings salvation?)
Alikho eliny'igama la, (There is no any other Name)
Elika Jesu lodwa! (Only Jesus' Name!)
SeSotho lyrics:
Oho 'bitso le ratehang!; (Oh, what a lovely Name!)
Ke le letle hakaakang; (Such a beautiful Name!)
Le monate ha le binwa ke batho; (It is sweet when sung by people)
Lebitso la Jesu! (The Name of Jesus!)
Last chorus: Alikho igama, elihle njengalo! (There no beautiful name such as His!)
