1.

Amaraso yawe, Mukiza,

Ni yo yoz’ ibyaha twakoze

Yaviriye ku musaraba

Ubwo wapfaga Mwami Yesu,

Nar’ uwo gucirwahw iteka

kuko ntari mbashije Kwizera

Mwami nyogesh’ ayo maraso,

Kugira ngo ntunganir’ Imana

Nye. . . za nk’ urubura

Nye. . . za nk’ urubura

Nyogesh’ amaraso wavuye

Kugira ngo ntunganir’ Imana

(Your blood, Savior,)

(Is what washes the sins we committed)

(It flowed from the cross)

(When You died, Lord Jesus,)

(I was to be eternally condemned)

(Because I was not able to believe)

(Lord, wash me with that blood,)

(So that I may be righteous before God)

(Make me... white as snow)

(Make me... white as snow)

(Wash me with the blood that flowed)

(So that I may be righteous before God)

2.

Yes’ ubwo wambikwag’ amahwa,

Bakujyana ku musaraba

Wihanganiy’ imibabaro

Ubwo wakubitwag’ inguma

Iryo riba ni ryo nkeneye,

Ni ryo gusa ribasha kunyeza

Mwami nyogesh’ ayo maraso

Kugira ngo ntunganir’ Imana

(Jesus, when You were crowned with thorns,)

(They took You to the cross)

(You endured the suffering)

(When You were beaten with clubs)

(That fountain is what I need,)

(It alone can cleanse me)

(Lord, wash me with that blood)

(So that I may be righteous before God)

3.

Nta bwo ngutunganiye, Mwami,

Mfit’ intege nke mu mutima

Ndakubona nt’ ese Mukiza

Nanjye ngo mbabarirw’ ibyaha?

Ku musaraba wawe Yesu,

Nizeye kw ari ho na kirira,

Mwami nyogesh’ ayo maraso

Kugira ngo ntunganir’ Imana

(I am not righteous before You, Lord,)

(I have weakness in my heart)

(I see You, can it be, Savior)

(That I also may be forgiven my sins?)

(On Your cross, Jesus,)

(I believe that is where I cry out,)

(Lord, wash me with that blood)

(So that I may be righteous before God)

4.

Mwami, ndaje mbe hafi yawe

Kugira ng’ ujy’ uhor’ undinda

Umbohore buri mugozi,

Untunganiriz’ umutima

Neger’ umusaraba wawe,

Mpore muri wo kugeza gupfa

Mwami nyogesh’ ayo maraso

Kugira ngo ntunganir’ Imana

(Lord, I come to be close to You)

(So that You may always protect me)

(Set me free from every bond,)

(Prepare my heart)

(Draw me near to Your cross,)

(Let me rest in it until death)

(Lord, wash me with that blood)

(So that I may be righteous before God)
