Ngutuy’ ubugingo bwanjye,
Yesu, Mwana w’ lrnana;
Ubwakire n’ urukundo,
Ngo bub’ ubwaw’ iteka
Nkuzaniy’ ibyaha byanjye
N’ umutim’ unangiwe :
Mu maraso wamviriye,
Unyoze, Mucunguzi
2
Uz’ uko mpora nirwanya
Ngo nkomez’ umutima;
Uz’ uko nari merewe
N’ ishavu n’ agahinda
Ububasha bwawe, Mwami,
Bundokore mu byaha
Kand’ Umwuka w’ ubugingo
Ujy’ unkura mu bibi
3
Nemeye kwitanga rwose,
Nta cyo nishigarije;
Mpisemo kujyana nawe
No kukumvira, yesu
Njye nkuyobokan’ ishimwe
Kukw ari wow’ ubimpa;
Ujy’ unyobor’ inzir’ ijya
Mu bgami bgawe bgiza
4
Reb’ uyu muhigo mpize
Nibwo nzivuguruza
Wukomeresh’ amaraso
N’ urukundo wankunze
Itek’ iyo nirebyeho,
Ndiheba, nkazimira;
Ariko kuk’ ujy’ unkunda,
Uzamfasha, Mukiza
