Ar’ i buryo bw’ Uwiteka,

Ni yo Man’ isumba byose

Maz’ urukundo rwe rwinshi

Avuka nk’ abandi bantu,

Ashir’ ubgan’ arakura

Atangira no kwigisha

Ibyiza by’ Uwiteka, Se;

Kand’ abarwayi bizeye

Impumyi n’ abaremaye;

Yakoraga ku babembe

Bamwizeye, bagakira

Nta bwo Yesu yananiwe

Gukiz’ umunt’ umwizeye

Kand’ ikirut’ ibyo byose,

N’ iby’ agakiza k’ iteka

Maz’ abantu babi cyane

Batemey’ ibyo yavuze

Batewe n’ ishyari ryinshi

Kumwic’ urupfu rubi pe

Azir’ ibyaha bya twese;

Yapfuye mu cyimbo cyacu

Kubw’ urukundo rwe rwinshi

Kand’ uz’ ahw ur’ amwizeye;

Ntiyabura kumwakira

Yarabisezerany’ ati:
