Mukiz' umpe kumenya

Mukiz’ umpe kumenya,

Naho kab’ agace,

K’ urukundo rw’ igitangaza

Rwatumy’ udupfira

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
