Icyamp' ukanyikorerera

Icyamp’ ukanyikorerera

Amaganya yanjye yose, Yesu,

Ngaturiz’ Uwiteka,

Nkamenya yukw ibyanjye byose

Ubitegekesh’ ubugwaneza

N’ ubgenge burutaho

Kenshi ntiny’ ibiribubeho,

Ngahagarik’ umutima, Mwami,

Ngize kwizera guke

Icyampa nkarorera rwose

Kwishingikiriza ku by’ iyi si,

Nkakwizera wenyine

Nabuzwa n’ iki kuyisaba,

Nkajya nyisunga, nkayikoreza

Ayo maganya yose,

Ngahumurizwa no kumenya

Yuko Dat’ ugaburir’ inyoni

Azanyumvira nanjye ?

Ntitwizer’ uko bikwiriye;

Umutim’ uhagaz’ ujugunya

Rwos’ amahoro yawo

Arikw inyoni n’ uburabyo

Binyigisha k’ umuns’ ukwiriwe

N’ ibyawo byago gusa

Umpe kumeny’ ibyo nigishwa

N’ uburabyo n’ inyoni, Mukiza,

Nkwishingikirizeho !

Ngez’ ah’ ushaka, Mushorera,

Nuko menye, nkiri mu makuba,

Amahor’ adashira
