Yesu mukunzi wanjye, Mpa kuguhungiraho.
Ubw’ umurab’ usuma, N’ umugar’ ugwa cyane,
Umpishe Mukize we! Kugez’ ah’uhitira.
Unyobor’ ahikinze, Nuk’ unkiz’ unyakire!

Nta bundi buhungiro, Mwam’ unyirokorere!
Ntunzibukire rwose, Komez’ ujy’ undengera!
Nkwizigire wenyine, Ni wow’ ump’ imbaraga,
Uhashy’ abanzi banjye, Simpugane na hato.

Ngushime Mwami Yesu, K’ utagir’icy’unyima,
Usindagiz’ urushye, N’ urway’ uramukiza;
Urera bihebuje, Ntabwo ngutunganiye,
Ndi mubi bikabije, Wow’ urakiranutse.

Ubabarira cyane, Kand’ imbabazi zawe,
Zirut’ ibyaha byanjye. Nyeza nkomeze nere,
We soko y’ ubugingo! Nkundira nkuvomemo!
Unyuzur’ umutima, Nzagere ku bugingo.
