Ai Mana y’ ukuri,

komeza kunyobora,

Uranshishe mu nzira yo gukor’ iby’ ushaka

Mwami kubaho ntagufite

Binter’ ubwoba n’ amaganya

Ndetse byabasha kungeza no mu rupfu vuba

Ibyiza mbona n’ ibi:

Kwizer’ Umwami Yesu

No guhora ngendera mu nzira ye ntunganye

Nawe yemeye kujy’ andinda,

Ndetse no ku nyobora neza

Ampesha no kwinjira vuba mu mahoro ye

Ub’ urugendo mfite

n’ urwo kujya mw’ ijuru

Umukiza niy’ ari nanjye nkwiye kujyayo

Kand’ umunsi nzaba ngezeyo

Nzamuhimbazany’ ibyishimo

Nzanezezwa nuko ari we wanguz’ amaraso

Mur’ iyi si huzuy’ umuruho n’ amahane

Icyo nkeneye cyose simperako nkibona

Ariko ku munsi mukuru

Ubwo nzabon’ Umucunguzi

Niringiye kuzabon’ ingororano yanjye

Mw’ ijuru sinzabona

abanzi banjy’ ukundi,

Nta n’ icyo nzahabura mw ‘ ijuru ry’ amahoro

Nzashim’ Imana mvuz’ impundu

Nti Haleluya, haleluya!

Nzarambur’ amaboko mpimbaz’ Umwami Yesu
