Aba Yesu bishimira
Izina rye ryera;
Ribamar’ imibabaro,
Rikabatinyura
2
Umutim’ ukomeretse
ni ryo riwukiza;
Ushonje rirawuhaza;
Riruhur’ urushye
3
Ni ryo ngabo yanjye nziza
Ihor’ inkingira,
N’ urutare nubakaho,
N’ inzu yanjye itagwa
4
Ur’ umutambyi nemera
N’ Umwam’ untegeka
N’ Umwunger’ ujy’ andagira
N’ inshuti nizera
5
Ni wowe bugingo bganjye,
Kandi kuri wowe
Ni ho nsiganirwa, Yesu;
Kand’ uri n’ inzira
6
Nuko ndasaba wemere
Ishimwe ngushima,
Nubgo ntabasha kuvuga
Ibigukwiriye
7
Yes’ ubgo nzakwirebera,
Uk uri mw ijuru,
Ni bgo nzajya ngusingiza,
Nkuko bikwiriye
8
Na non’ uko mbishoboye,
Nzajya nguhimbaza;
No mw ipfa ryanjy’ iryo zina
Rizampumuriza
