102. Ump' akanya, Yesu, nze nkwe...

Kuko naniriwe mur’ iyi si(Because I am weary in this world)

Ndetse no mu gihe cy’ i ntambara,(Even in times of warfare,)

Na bgo Mwami, ujy’ ump’ amahoro(Still, Lord, give me peace)

Ump’ akanya, Yesu, nze nkwegere,(Give me a moment, Jesus, let me draw near to You,)

Kuk’ umwijim’ ukabije mw isi(Because the darkness is intense in the world)

Icyo nkeneye n’ ukukwegera(What I need is to draw near to You)

Kugira ngo numv’ ijambo ryawe(So that I may hear Your word)

Mu bingerageza n’ amakuba(In trials and troubles)

Ni wowe buhungiro nizeye(You are the refuge I trust)

Mu gihe cy’ akaga mur’ iyi si(In times of danger in this world)

Kuko wanyikorerey’ ibyaha(Because You atoned for my sins)

Ndumva nshaka kukubwira byose(I want to tell You everything)

Kuko, Mwami, nizeye k’ unyumva(Because, Lord, I believe You hear me)
