Bitso la hau le rorisoe ka mehla eohle

[Verse 1]
It is time to give thanks
Yes, you loved me, you chose me, I thank you
In hard times, in great darkness
In grief, you love me, you chose me

[Chorus]
Light and praise, to you, father
Praise and respect, to you, father
Your name be revered always

[Verse 2]
Now I know how to pray
Who can I trust, other than you, father
When I start you hymn of praise
O, folisa pelo tsa bana tse bohloko, Ramaseli
Heal the children's sore hearts, God

[Chorus]
Light and praise, to you, father
Praise and respect, to you, father
Your name be revered always

[Break]

[Outro]
Light and praise, to you, father
Praise and respect, to you, father
Your name be revered always
Your name be revered always (Ooo!)
Your name be revered always
