kugukunda, mwami Yesu,
kuruhukir’ i wawe,
Nkaba mu gituza cyawe,
Birankwiriye rwose
kwemer’ amahoro yawe,
kuko waje kunkiza,
No kumenya kwera kwawe,
Bihora binezeza

Amahirwe yanjye nkunda
Ni Wowe, Yesu wanjye!
Uhor’ untabar’ iteka;
Ntugir’ ubg’ uhinduka
Urukundo rwawe rwinshi,
Waje muri twe mw isi
Ngw abazimiy’ ubashake,
Ubatarure bose

Koko, yitanze kubwanjye
No kumeny’aramenya
Yemeye kunshyira ma nzu,
Tukajya dusangjra
Mu ntege nke zanjye zose
Arashaka kunkiza:
N’ inyangamugay’ akunda
Kumfasha no kumpira

Amaraso yawe, Yesu,
Ni yo mas’ ashobora
Kunkurahw ibyaha byanjye;
Ampa gukiranuka
Mwe kumbgir’ ibindi byose:
N’Umurokozi wanjye,
Kandi yemera no kumpa
Amahoro y’ iteka
