According to one of the sheet musics:

💡
This South African song and fourteen others were first recorded and published in 1980 by the Church of Sweden Mission and the Singing Group "Fjedur" after a visit they made to South Africa. The subsequent1984 collection Freedom is coming brought the songs to worldwide audience.

From Wikipedia:

Siyahamba (written down by Andries Van Tonder, and possibly composed by him, or possibly a Zulu folk song) is a South African hymn that became popular in North American churches in the 1990s. The title means "We Are Marching" or "We are Walking" in the Zulu language.

Note on the Lyrics:

💡
Lyrics may alternate marching with different verbs such as walkingdancingsingingliving, or praying, or the word God for love or peace in a less religious gathering.

There is a glitch in these recording when the first verse repeats, the silence/rest is NOT intended! I have to figure out how to fix it in MuseScore.
