Menyesh ibya Yesu byose, maz’ ubinyandikemo;

Mbwir’ ibye by’ingenzi byose, nezezwa no kubyumva.

Mbwir’ ukw abamaraika baririmbye yavutse,

Ngw Icyubahiro ku Mana, amahor’ abe mu b’ isi.

Mbwira n’ibyo mu butayu, n’iminsi yahamaze;

N’uburyo yageragejwe, agatsind’ ibishuko;

Mbwira n’iby’imirimo ye, vug’ uko yababajwe;

Agahemurwa bamwanze, agahinyurwa nk’impabe.

Mbwir’ iby’umusaraba we, uwo bamubambyeho,

Mbwira n’aho bamuhambye, mbwira n’uko yazutse,

N’urukundo ruhebuje, nta cyo narugeraho.

Dore, ndababaye, mbwira iby’urukundo rwanshunguye.
