An arrangement of a traditional folk hymn from east Africa, and the beautiful Christian hymn, Sweet Hour of Prayer. The idea is that God hears and answers the prayers of all people in all the world!
Sweet Hour of Prayer w/ Unajibu Maombi
(Sweet Hour of Prayer by William Walford & William Bradbury. Uniajibu Maombi-traditional Swahili folk hymn)
Unajibu maombi. Unajibu maombi.
Unajibu maombi. Na kuamini Bwana.
Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.
Unajibu maombi. Unajibu maombi.
Unajibu maombi. Na kuamini Bwana.
Sala tamu! Sala tamu!
Ya nirudisha kwa Mungu.
Na kuwa mbele ya enzi,
Nikiseme mahitaji.
Nina popatwa na shida,
Nafsi hupata faraja.
No kuyakwepa maovu
Ikirudi po.
Ikifika
Sala tamu.
