I suppose it makes sense that many of the songs left over from Gather 3rd ed. that I haven’t blogged from other sources already will be world music (Irish, African, Spanish etc.)
This one is traditional Xhosa, but the translation and adaptation are copyrighted. It is is a hymn of encouragement in times of trial.
GIA sell what appears to be a slightly different arrangement these days. Looking at their preview, the lyrics and the translation match what I have in Gather 3. I note other translations with “hold on” or “hold fast” rather than “never give up.”
