Mukiz’ umpe kumenya,
Naho kab’ agace,
K’ urukundo rw’ igitangaza
Rwatumy’ udupfira
Umenyeshe, Mukiza,
Uko wababajwe,
Ubg’ Uwera wang’ ibyaha pe
Wishyiragahw ibyanjye

Umenyesh’ ibyo, Yesu,
Kuko bikomeye,
Bikarut’ uko byashobora
Kumenywa n’ umuntu

Mbes’ imbereri, Yesu,
Ni zo zakubambye ?
Oya si zo, ni za mbabazi
Wangiriy’ ubganjye

Ntangajwe na rwa rupfu
Wamfiriye, Yesu,
Ko rwashoboye kunshungura
Ngo nkire, ntungane,

Ni rwo runkiz’ ibyaha
Bose bambonaho;
Si byo byonyine: runkuramo
N’ ibinyihishemo

Mukiza, nshenjagura;
Men’ ibinangiwe!
Unyemeze yuk’ unesheje :
Unyimemo, Mwami
