Mbes’ aho wamenye rya zina ryiza

Ry’ Umukiza wacu Yesu?

Riraririmbwa mur’ iyi si yose,

Rivugwa mu bantu bose

Yesu ni we zina rihebuje,

Rirut’ ayandi yose mw isi

Rifit’ imbaraga zo kudufasha,

Ridukiz’ ibyaha byose

(Have you ever known that beautiful name)

(Of our Savior Jesus?)

(It is sung throughout this whole world,)

(Spoken among all people)

(Jesus is the name above all,)

(Greater than all other names on earth)

(It has power to help us,)

(To save us from all sins)

2.

Ni ryo rihoz’ umutim’ ubabaye

Riratunezeza rwose

Mu mubabaro no mu byago byinshi

Ribasha no kuturinda

(It is what comforts the grieving heart)

(It truly makes us joyful)

(In suffering and in many calamities)

(It is able to protect us)

3.

Ndetse no mu mwijima mur’ iyi si

Rimurika nk’ inyenyeri

Rimp’ amahoro, rimpa n’ ubutwari

Ndetse no kugeza gupfa

(Even in the darkness of this world)

(It shines like a star)

(It gives me peace, it gives me courage)

(Even until death)

4.

Amazina yos’ aribagirana

Kerets’ izina rya Yesu

Rizahora rimurika mw ijuru

Yesu ni we zina ryiza

(All names will be forgotten)

(Except the name of Jesus)

(It will forever shine in heaven)

(Jesus is the beautiful name)
