PINYNI OK THURWA (We've No Abiding City Here)

No. 269 PINYNI OK THURWA MWAGENO (We've no abiding city here)
1. Pinyni ok thurwa mwageno; Waonge dala mosiko;
To wachni ohoyo chunywa, Wakiyo dala mabiro
Wakiyo dala mabiro
2. Pinyni ok thurwa mwageno; Wakiyo dala ma ok nen;
Zayun e nyinge- dala Ruoth;Orieny gi ler ma nyaka chieng'
Orieny gi ler ma nyaka chieng'
3. Dala maber mar mor gi kuwe; Kar hawi- chandruok onge chuth; Da an gi buomb winyo koro Daringi mond' ayue kanyo,
Daringi mond' ayue kanyo.
4. Chunya, kuwe mos! Ruoth ong'eyo Ndalo ma iniyud yueyo;
E piny ka mond' atim chikne Ka pod arito ndalono
Ka pod arito ndalono
.
WE'VE NO ABIDING CITY HERE
1. We’ve no abiding city here:
This may distress the worldling’s mind,
But should not cost the saint a tear,
Who hopes a better rest to find.
2. We’ve no abiding city here:
Sad truth! Were this to be our home!
But let this thought our spirits cheer;
We seek a city yet to come.
3. We’ve no abiding city here;
We seek a city out of sight.
Zion its name; the Lord is there;
It shines with everlasting light.
3. Zion! Jehovah is her strength;
Secure she smiles at all her foes;
And weary travellers at length
Within her sacred walls repose.
4. Hush, my soul, nor dare repine;
The time my God appoints is best;
While here to do His will be mine,
And His to fix my time of rest.
-Thomas KELLY

My mom too used to sing this song. Heard her singing at my brother's funeral..And sang this at her funeral too..Rest in Peace mum.Always missed

[@donphelix5266]

The translated English version of the song 1. We've no abiding city here; Sad truth, were this to be our home; But let this thought our spirits cheer, We seek a city yet to come, We seek a city yet to come. 2. We've no abiding city here, We seek a city out of sight; Zion its name, the Lord is there, It shines with ever lasting light, It shines with ever lasting light. 3. O sweet abode of peace and love, Where pilgrims freed from toil, are blessed! Had I the pinions of a dove, I'd fly to thee, and be at rest, I'd fly to thee, and be at rest. 4. But hush, my soul! nor dare repine; The time my God appoints is best; While here, to do his will be mine, And his to fix my time of rest, And his to fix my time of rest.
