Gushimisha · 4 verses
Nshim’ Umwami wo mw ijuru,
Ntang’ ibyo mmushimisha
Nari mboshyw’ arambohora;
Nari ndway’ arankiza
Tumushime, tumushime!
Ni we mwam’ Uhoraho
(I praise the Lord who is in heaven,)
(I bring Him offerings of praise)
(I was bound, He set me free;)
(I was sick, He healed me)
(Let us praise Him, let us praise Him!)
(He is the Lord Eternal)
Basogokuruza kera
bari mu mubabaro;
Abagirir’ imbabazi:
Tumuhimbariz’ ibyo
Na none tumwizigire
Kukw ar’ uko yahoze
(Our ancestors long ago)
(Were in great sorrow;)
(He showed them mercy:)
(Let us praise Him for this)
(And still let us trust in Him)
(For He is as He has always been)
Ni Data wa twese mwiza
Az’ intege nke zacu;
Nukw aturinde Satani
Duhimbaz’ imbabazi ze
Zitarangir’ iteka
(He is our good Father of all)
(Who knows our weaknesses;)
(May He protect us from Satan)
(Let us praise His mercy)
(That endures forever)
Yemwe bamaraika beza
Nimushim’ Uwiteka
Namwe bera bo mw ijuru
Bavuye mw isi yose,
Mwese mushimane natwe
Nyirigir’ Uhoraho
(You beautiful angels)
(Praise the Lord)
(And you saints in heaven)
(Who came from all the earth,)
(All of you praise together with us)
(The Lord Eternal)
