Yesu ndagukunda cyane ndakwihaye:
Nzinutsw’ukw’ibyaha byanjye binezeza
Mucunguzi wanjye yesu nyir’ubuntu bgose;
Ntabgo nigeze ngukund’uko ngukund’ubu
(Jesus I love You greatly, I give myself:)
(I'm ashamed that my sins once pleased me)
(My Redeemer Jesus, owner of all mercy;)
(I've never loved You as I love You now)
Ngukunze nkwitur’uko wankunze kera,
Unyigur’i Gologota ntakwiriye
Ngukundiy’amahwa wanyambariye mu mutwe;
Ntabgo nigeze ngukund’uko ngukund’ubu
(I love You as I remember You loved me first,)
(You bought me at Golgotha, undeserving)
(I love the crown of thorns You wore upon Your head;)
(I've never loved You as I love You now)
Nzahora ngukunda Yes’iteka ryose
Ngihumeka njye ndirimb’ishimwe ryawe
Ningera mu rupfu nabwo nzagushima ntya nti:
Ntabgo nigeze ngukund’uko ngukund’ubu
(I'll love You always, Jesus, eternally)
(With every breath I'll sing Your praises)
(Even in death I'll still declare with confidence:)
(I've never loved You as I love You now)
Ni ngera mu rugo rwa So, Mwami Yesu,
Nzajya mpaguhamiriz’ iteka ryose;
Nkwikubis’imbere, nzagusingiza cyane, nti:
Ntabgo nigeze ngukund’uko ngukund’ubu
(When I reach the Father's house, Lord Jesus,)
(I'll worship You forever and ever;)
(Prostrate before You, I will magnify You greatly:)
(I've never loved You as I love You now)
