“Mimi naenda kuwa raia mwema. Lakini wale wanaozingatia kuongoza msiweke chini. Msiweke msingi wa siasa zenu kwa chuki. Kama yuko mtu ametukana mimi namsamehe. Na kama yuko mtu ambaye nimesema kitu chochote ambayo imeumiza roho yake unisamehe.”

“I will be leaving to be an ordinary citizen. But those who will assume the leadership of this country I appeal to you not to bring Kenya to shame. Don’t anchor your politics on hate. If there is anyone who insulted me, I forgive him. If I said something that hurt you, forgive me.”

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father‘s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

FOREVER WITH THE LORD IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; For ever with the Lord! For ever with the Lord! Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, Amen! so let it be! Father, if ‚tis thy will, It is well, it is well with my soul. Life from the dead is in that word, The promise of thou gracious word Tis immortality! Even here to me fulfil. Refrain: It is well with my soul, Here in the body pent, Be thou at my right hand, It is well, it is well with my soul. Absent from him I roam, So shall I never fail; Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent Uphold thou me, and I shall stand, Let this blest assurance control, A day‘s march nearer home. Help, and I shall prevail. That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul. My Father‘s house on high, So when my latest breath Home of my soul! how near, Shall rend the veil in twain, My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!— At times, to faith‘s aspiring eye, By death I shall escape from death, My sin, not in part but the whole, Thy golden gates appear! And life eternal gain. Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! Ah! then my spirit faints Knowing as I am known, To reach the land I love, How shall I love that word, For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live: The bright inheritance of saints, And oft repeat before the throne, If Jordan above me shall roll, Jerusalem above! For ever with the Lord! No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait, The sky, not the grave, is our goal; Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord! Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul! And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, BECAUSE HE LIVES The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul.

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus And life is worth the living, just because He came to love, heal and forgive He lives He lived and died to buy my pardon An empty grave is there to prove my And then one day, I’ll cross the river saviour lives I’ll fight life’s final war with pain And then, as death gives way to victory Because He lives, I can face tomorrow I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know Because He lives, all fear is gone He reigns Because I know He holds the future And life is worth the living, just because Because He lives, I can face tomorrow He lives Because He lives, all fear is gone Because I know He holds the future How sweet to hold a new born baby And life is worth the living, just because And feel the pride and joy He gives He lives But greater still the calm assurance This child can face uncertain day, I can face tomorrow because He lives Because He lives, all fear is gone Because I know He holds the future Because He lives, I can face tomorrow And life is worth the living, just because Because He lives, all fear is gone He lives Because I know He holds the future 7 The spirit of Nyayo is leading us to peace, love and unity; they are not slogans or vague philosophies but practical foundations of countrywide development.

BWANA MUNGU CHA KUTUMAINI SINA NASHANGAA KABISA

Cha kutumaini sina, Damu yake na sadaka, Ila damu yake Bwana, Nategemea daima, Sina wema wa kutosha, Yote chini yakiisha, Bwana Mungu nashangaa kabisa, Katika safari yangu, Dhambi zangu kuziosha. Mwokozi atanitosha. Nikifikiri jinsi ulivyo, Tatembea na wewe. Nyota, ngurumo, vitu vyote pia, Kwake Yesu nasimama, Kwake Yesu nasimama, Viumbavyo kwa uwezo wako. Pamoja na wewe, Ndiye mwamba ni salama, Ndiye mwamba ni salama, Pamoja na wewe, Ndiye mwamba ni salama, Ndiye mwamba ni salama, Refrain: Katika safari yangu, Ndiye mwamba ni salama. Ndiye mwamba ni salama. Roho yangu na ikuimbie, Tatembea na wewe. Jinsi wewe ulivyo mkuu, Njia yangu iwe ndefu, Nikiitwa hukumuni, Roho yangu na ikuimbie, Mali hapa sikutaka, Yeye hunipa wokovu, Rohoni nina amani, Jinsi wewe ulivyo mkuu. Ili niheshimiwe, Mawimbi yakinipiga, Nikivikwa haki yake, Na yanikute mashaka, Nguvu ndizo nanga. Sina hofu mbele zake. Nikitembea pote duniani, Sawasawa na wewe. Ndege huimba nawasikia, Kwake Yesu nasimama, Kwake Yesu nasimama, Milima hupendeza macho sana, Pamoja na wewe, Ndiye mwamba ni salama, Ndiye mwamba ni salama, Upepo nao nafurahia. Pamoja na wewe, Ndiye mwamba ni salama, Ndiye mwamba ni salama, Heri nikute mashaka, Ndiye mwamba ni salama. Ndiye mwamba ni salama. Nikikumbuka vile wewe Mungu, Sawasawa na wewe. Ulivyompeleka mwanao, Afe azichukue dhambi zetu, Niongoze safarini, Kuyatambua ni vigumu mno. Mbele unichukue, Mlangoni mwa mbinguni, Yesu Mwokozi atakaporudi, Niingie na wewe. HOW GREAT THOU ART Kunichukua kwenda mbinguni, Nitaimba sifa zako milele, Pamoja na wewe, Wote wajue jinsi ulivyo. Pamoja na wewe, Mlangoni mwa mbinguni, O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder Bwana u sehemu yangu, Niingie na wewe. Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made Rafiki yangu, wewe, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder Thy power throughout the universe displayed

[Refrain] Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing He bled and died to take away my sin

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow, in humble adoration And then proclaim: “My God, how great Thou art!” 8 PRESIDENT DANIEL ARAP MOI | 1924-2020 THE STATESMAN
