Icyamp’ ukanyikorerera
Amaganya yanjye yose, Yesu,
Ngaturiz’ Uwiteka,
Nkamenya yukw ibyanjye byose
Ubitegekesh’ ubugwaneza

Kenshi ntiny’ ibiribubeho,
Ngahagarik’ umutima, Mwami,
Ngize kwizera guke
Icyampa nkarorera rwose
Kwishingikiriza ku by’ iyi si,
Nkakwizera wenyine

Nabuzwa n’ iki kuyisaba,
Nkajya nyisunga, nkayikoreza
Ayo maganya yose,
Ngahumurizwa no kumenya
Yuko Dat’ ugaburir’ inyoni
Azanyumvira nanjye ?

Ntitwizer’ uko bikwiriye;
Umutim’ uhagaz’ ujugunya
Rwos’ amahoro yawo
Arikw inyoni n’ uburabyo
Binyigisha k’ umuns’ ukwiriwe
N’ ibyawo byago gusa

Umpe kumeny’ ibyo nigishwa
N’ uburabyo n’ inyoni, Mukiza,
Nkwishingikirizeho !
Ngez’ ah’ ushaka, Mushorera,
Nuko menye, nkiri mu makuba,
Amahor’ adashira
