Kugeza gupfa, tuzakuyoboka:
Kugeza gupf’ ur’ Umwami wacu
Duhagaritswe kw ibendera yawe ;
Tuzahapfira tukwiringiye
Kugeza gupfa, turwan’ intambara;
Ni kw ingabo z’ Umwami zinesha;
Kugeza gupf’ Umusarabawawe
N’ Ibendera yac’ abacunguwe
2
Kubgawe, Yesu, ni byiza kubaho;
Inzira yaw’ iratworohera
Ni nde wakwanga kugukurikira,
Wowe, Mukiza wadupfiriye?

Kugeza gupfa, dutegekwe nawe
Ubw’ uriho, tuzabaho natwe !
Wumviy’ Imana, ntiwanga no gupfa,
Ndets’ udupfira n’ urupfu rubi
4
Mukiz’ uz’ intege nke zacu rwose;
Tuzi ko twagwa mu nzira yacu,
N’ utaza gusohoz’ isezerano
Ryo kuturengera, tukiriho
5
Umwuka waw’ udushorer’ iteka,
Kand’ imitima yac’ iwumvire,
Ngo tub’ ubwoko bwaneshej’ urupfu
Kubgawe, Yesu wadupfiriye!
