Send Me, Jesus aka Thuma Mina (AOV 1/54)

This is a South African hymn so naturally you’d want to listen to it in this video from Holland. For a bigger sound this choir from the West Indies does their arrangement here. You can find lots of other versions on Youtube, which is an indication of some popularity. It would be a great recessional in the right hands, but I’m not sure how you would know when to stop.

The AOV version has three english verses before switching to Zulu. The leader’s part starts at the last note of the unison part and in my backing they are separated to help you learn the piece.

 

Verse 1

Leader: Send me, Lord.

           All: Send me, Jesus,  send me, Jesus,
send me, Jesus,  send me, Lord.

Verse 2

Leader: Lead me, Lord.

           All: Lead me, Jesus,  lead me, Jesus,
lead me, Jesus,  lead me, Lord.

Verse 3

Leader: Fill me, Lord.

           All: Fill me, Jesus,  fill me, Jesus,
fill me, Jesus,  fill me, Lord.

Verse 4

Leader: Thu-ma  mi-na.
All: Thu-ma  mi-na,  thu-ma  mi-na
thu-ma  mi-na,   so-man-dla
