Unyigishe Mukiza

unyigishe Mukiza,

Iby’Umusaraba

N’ icyatumy’ uza mw isi,

Ukatubambirwa

Umenyeshe umumaro

Wumunyabyah’ umwe,

Umbgire n’ igiciro

Wanshungurishije !

Unyigishe n’ impamvu

Y’ isok’ itukura

Yo mu rubavu rwawe,

Urwo bacumise,

Ari jye gusa mw isi:

Wacumuy’ Imana,

Uba warayavuye

Ngw’amber’ impongano

unyerek’ urukundo

Rutarondoreka

Rwamanuts’ i kuzimu

kubgac’ abihebe

uyu mutim’ ukonje

wuzuy’ inarijye,

uwatsemwo urukundo

Ruv’ i Gologota

unyigishe, Mukiza:

Nd’ umunyabyaha pe

Icyantabara, Mwami,

N’ ubuntu bwonyine

Yesu ni jy’ ugukennye:

Mu bo wapfiriye

B’ abanyabyaha babi,

Ni jyewe ukabije

Mukiza wanjye, Yesu

Ni wowe nizeye

Maz’ ubw’ umpamagaye,

Ndakwiyeguriye

Non’ ubw’ unyakiriye,

Njye nshim’ imbabazi

Na rwa rukund’ unkunda,

Mbivuge ndinde mfa
