Ubonets’ uri kw ijuru,
Ur’ umucy’ utuvira
Tumurikir’ imitima,
Utweyurir’ umwijima
Ukunda kuba mw isi

Mu mwijima wa Satani,

Wankuye mu bgenge buke

Uhorw’ ibyaha nakoze,
Mpeshw’ amahoro n’ ubuntu
N’ urupfu rwawe, Yesu

Njye nkwizeran’umurava :
Uz’ intege nke zanjye;
Njye nkor’ iby’ ushaka byose
Non’ unshunshumurireho
Umwuka wawe Wera
