Gushimisha · 5 verses

1.

Kugukorera ni byiza,

Mukiza wanjye. Iri turo ntuye,

Mwami, Rikunezeze

Akir’ ubugingo bganjye,

N’ ubgawe, Yesu;

Kandi kubg’ ubuntu bgawe,

Undind’ ibibi

(To serve You, Lord, is joy,)

(My Savior dear. This rest You give me,)

(Lord, brings me delight)

(Receive my life entire,)

(It's Yours, O Jesus;)

(And through Your tender mercy,)

(Keep me from all evil)

2.

Mwam’icyo nifuza cyane

N’ ukwera nkawe:

Nta n’ ikindi nshaka,

Yesu; Nzajya nkumvira,

(Lord, what I desire most)

(Is faithfulness like Yours:)

(There's nothing else I want,)

(Jesus; I will always obey You,)

3.

Mbe nk’intumwa zawe, Yesu,

Njye ngukorera;

Ngukurikire, Muvunyi,

Nkubehw iteka

(Like Your apostles, Jesus,)

(I long to serve You well;)

(I'll follow You, my Champion,)

(I'll serve You evermore)

4.

Singitinya n’amakuba

N’ ibyago bindi:

Uwo nizeye ni Yesu

N’ agakiza ke

(I will not fear the trials)

(Nor other dangers great:)

(The One I trust is Jesus)

(And His salvation sure)

5.

Twese tujy’imbere hamwe

Mu by’ inzira ye,

Turirimban’indirimbo,

Tunesh’iteka

(Together we press forward)

(Along His chosen way,)

(Singing our songs together,)

(We'll serve Him endlessly)
