Jy’ uba maso, wowe muntu wizeye :
Mu gitondo, jya wisung’ Imana,
Kuk’ Umwanzi yoshy’ abataba maso
Ngw abagushe kukw abanga
Jy’ uba maso : wicogora !
Jy’ uba maso : senga !
2
Jy’ uba maso, no ku manywa y’ ihangu,
Iby’ isi byibagij’ iby’ ijuru;
Weho, gir’ umwanya wo kwiherera,
Ng’ useng’ Umukiza wawe
3
Jy’ uba maso n’ imunsi na n’ ijoro,
Wibuk’ ibyiza by’ inshuti Yesu;
Ujy’ umushakish’ umutima wawe :
Mubgir’ ibikubabaje
4
Jy’ uba maso, hose mu gihe cyose :
Satan’ akubikiriye hose,
Ashak’ uburyo yaguseseramo,
Ngo yimur’ Umwami Yesu
