Bana mw ijur’ abiringiy’ Umucunguzi
Tuzaherway’ ibintu byinshi
Azaduh’ amakamba y’ ubgiza bginshi,
Kand’ atwambik’ imyenda yera
Bana, tuzahabga, tuzahabga byinshi,
Tuzagabirwa bynshi mw ijuru !
Tuzahoran’ ishimwe, tunezerewe,
Ni twizer’ Umukiza Yesu
2
Tuzagendagenda mu muhanda wakozwe
Mw izahabu n’ ifeza nyinshi;
Kandi Yesu ni We zuba ryaho ryiza:
Nta n’ ijoro riba mw ijuru
3
Twe n’ abera bose tuzacurang’ inanga,
Turirimbir’ Umwami Yesu;
Tuyhanywere n’ amazi y’ Uruzi rwiza,
Dusiz’ urupfu n’ amakuba
4
Muze mwese, tujyan’ iyi nzir’ ifunguye,
mumuhay’ imitima yanyu
Nimuyoboke mwes’ Uwabapfiriye,
Abagezey’ abanezeze
