Iri joro, yemwe bakristo mwese,
Turabibuts’ Umwana w’ Imana,
Uko yaje kuducungura twese,
Ngw Iman’ izadukure mu byaha
Abo mw isi bose banezerewe
Iri joro, bibuk’ Umukiza
Mupfukame, mushim’Umucunguzi !
Tunezerwe, tunezerwe twese ! (x2)

Kwizigira kwacu, bakristo mwese,
Kudutere guhimbaz’ Umwami;
Inyenyeri y’ iracyaka kw ijuru
Ahw abanyabwenge bayibonye
Uwo Mwami yashyizwe mu muvure:
Mubimenye, rubanda mwese mwe !
Munezerwe kukw Iman’ ibikiza
Munezerwe, mwambaz’ uwo Mwami ! (x 2)

Umukiza yabakuye mu kaga
No mu buretwa bw’ umwanzi mubi
Mwes’ abita ben’ Imana Rurema;
Abigish’ iby’ urukundo rwayo
Tumwerurire yuko tumukunda:
Yadupfiriye ku Musaraba
Rubanda mwe, mwishime cyane none !
Tunezerwe, tunezerwe twese ! (x 2)
