| New Lyrics | Original Lyrics |
| Jesus is king Jesus is lord Died for you He died for me He's comin' soon Up in the sky And wiping tears From eyes that cry |
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh |
| In the be-gin-ning The Word already was The Word dw-elt with God Through Him all was made |
In the jungle, the mighty jungle The lion sleeps tonight In the jungle, the quiet jungle The lion sleeps tonight |
| Jesus is king Jesus is lord Died for you He died for me He's comin' soon Up in the sky And wiping tears From eyes that cry |
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh |
| Born a baby in a manger Yet King of all the World He came to earth to save me To die for my sin |
Near the village, the peaceful village The lion sleeps tonight Near the village, the quiet village The lion sleeps tonight |
| Jesus is king Jesus is lord Died for you He died for me He's comin' soon Up in the sky And wiping tears From eyes that cry |
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh |
| Soon He's coming to all nations As king and warrior Bringing death to sin and sorrow The mighty holy One |
Hush, my darling, don't fear my darling The lion sleeps tonight Hush, my darling, don't fear my darling The lion sleeps tonight |
| Jesus is king Jesus is lord Died for you He died for me He's comin' soon Up in the sky And wiping tears From eyes that cry |
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh |
| Jesus is king Jesus is lord Died for you He died for me He's comin' soon Up in the sky |
We-de-de-de De-de-de-de-de De-we-um-um-a-way We-de-de-de De-de-de-de-de We-um-um-a-way |
