Nshim’ Umwami wo mw ijuru,(I praise the Lord who is in heaven,)

Ntang’ ibyo mmushimisha(I bring Him offerings of praise)

Nari mboshyw’ arambohora;(I was bound, He set me free;)

Nari ndway’ arankiza(I was sick, He healed me)

Tumushime, tumushime!(Let us praise Him, let us praise Him!)

Ni we mwam’ Uhoraho(He is the Lord Eternal)

Basogokuruza kera(Our ancestors long ago)

bari mu mubabaro;(Were in great sorrow;)

Abagirir’ imbabazi:(He showed them mercy:)

Tumuhimbariz’ ibyo(Let us praise Him for this)

Na none tumwizigire(And still let us trust in Him)

Kukw ar’ uko yahoze(For He is as He has always been)

Ni Data wa twese mwiza(He is our good Father of all)

Zitarangir’ iteka(That endures forever)

Yemwe bamaraika beza(You beautiful angels)

Namwe bera bo mw ijuru(And you saints in heaven)

Bavuye mw isi yose,(Who came from all the earth,)

Mwese mushimane natwe(All of you praise together with us)

Nyirigir’ Uhoraho(The Lord Eternal)
