Nionapo amani kama shwari, ama nionapo shida
When peace like a river attendeth my way, or when sorrows like sea billows roll

Kwa mambo yote umenijulisha, ni salama rohoni mwangu
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, it is well with my soul

Salama rohoni, ni salama rohoni mwangu
It is well with my soul, it is well with my soul

Salama rohoni, ni salama rohoni mwangu
It is well with my soul, it is well with my soul

Ingawa shetani atanitesa, nitajipa moyo kwani
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come

Kristo ameona unyonge wangu, amekufa kwa roho yangu
Let this blest assurance control: that Christ has regarded my helpless estate and has shed His own blood for my soul

Salama rohoni, ni salama rohoni mwangu
It is well with my soul, it is well with my soul

Salama rohoni, ni salama rohoni mwangu
It is well with my soul, it is well with my soul

Dhambi zangu zote, wala si nusu, zimewekwa msalabani
My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought—my sin, not in part, but the whole

Wala sichukui laana yake, ni salama rohoni mwangu
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more; praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul

Salama rohoni, ni salama rohoni mwangu
It is well with my soul, it is well with my soul

Salama rohoni, ni salama rohoni mwangu
It is well with my soul, it is well with my soul

Ee Bwana himiza siku ya kuja, panda itakapolia
And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight

Utakaposhuka sitaogopa, ni salama rohoni mwangu
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll, the trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend

Salama rohoni, ni salama rohoni mwangu
Even so—it is well with my soul, it is well with my soul

Salama rohoni, ni salama rohoni mwangu
It is well with my soul, it is well with my soul

This hymn draws directly from the well-known declaration in 3 John 1:2 – “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers” – paired with the core testimony of peace through Christ’s atonement as expressed in the original English hymn “It Is Well with My Soul” by Horatio Spafford, reflecting unshakeable spiritual security amid life’s storms.
