Iyo nibgiye mu mutima

Iyo nibgiye mu mutima

Igit’ Umwami yatangiyeho,

Nzinukw’ ibyo niratanaga;

Mbireba nk’ ibitariho rwose

Sinkirat’ikindi, Mukiza,

Keretse ko wankunz’ ukamfira;

Ndeke n’ ibyo nishimiraga,

Ngushimir’ uko wanyitangiye

Ishavu n’ ibambe bivanze

Byavuye mu mutima wa Yesu;

Mbese, har’ undi Mwami nka we

Wateg’ ikamba nk’ iryo ry’ amahwa ?

Mwam’ iyo mba mfit’ isi yose,

Nkemera kuyitanga h’ ubwishyu,

Nta bgo yarangiza na hato

Kwishyur’ umwenda wanjy’ ukomeye

Urwo rukundo wankunz’ utyo

Rukwiriye kuntangisha byose,

Ibyanjye n’ umutima wanjye,

Bikab’ ibyaw’ ukabitegeka
