Reka nshim Umwami Yesu

Reka nshim’ Umwami Yesu

Kuko yankunze rwose:

Yarampinduye mb’ umwana,

Ngo tubane mw ijuru

Mur’ iyi si dutuyemo

Yuzuy’ uburiganya,

Ntabgo yabasha guhaza

Iby’ imitim’ ishaka.

Kand’ Umwuka wawe wera,

Abamuhawe bose,

Ni W’ ujy’ abazinukisha

Kwifuz’ iby’ isi byose,

Ujye wirukan’ ubwenge

Bwa Satan’ anzanira

Bwo kuntandukanya nawe,

Isoko y’ ubugingo

Yemw’ ababyawe n’ lmana,

Mujye muhirimbana,

Mugere ku Musaraba,

Mubone kunesh’ isi

Yes’ amaz’ imyaka myinshi

Ajy’ atwihanganira;

Nimuze, dusig’ ab’ isi,

Babone kutwifuza

Mwe kujya muvuga Yesu,

Uwo mwumvany’ a bandi;

Mujye mumureb’ ubwanyu,

Ari ku Musaraba

Mwe kujya mukebaguza

No gusubir’ inyuma

Mu byo mwahozemo kera,

Mudahemura Yesu !
