Jye nd’ Umukristo : nzahora ndi we
Mu bintu byose, ngeze ku gupfa
Jye nd’ Umukristo : mpora mbihamya,
Nahw igihugu cyose

Kuk’ ubu nsigaye nkunda Kristo
Icyatumy’ apfa, yazize jyewe !
Nabuzwa n’ iki kujya mukunda ?

Jye nd’ Umukristo : umv’ ubwo buntu !
Narakijijwe, nkurwa mu byaha

N’ ibyago, nkaba no ku rugamba
Jye nd’ Umukristo : nd’ umutabazi
Mu ntambara ndasana n’ ibyaha
Mfit’ Umugaba, n’ Umwami Yesu;
Ni tuba hamwe, nzahora nesha

Nsigaye nifuz’ ibyo mw ijuru
Jye nd’ Umukristo : gakondo yacu

Nta nzar’ ibayo, nta n’ imiruho;
Abaho bose baguwe neza

Gihumuriz’ umutima wanjye
Kinyibagiza n’ ibyago byose,
Nkumva nduhuwe n’ Umwami Yesu

Maze, ni ntumirwa, ngiye gupfa,
Nzagir’ ibyishimo bitavugwa;
Nzabon’ ihirwe, ngiye mw ijuru
