No kumenya kwera kwawe,(And knowing Your faithfulness,)

Bihora binezeza(These always bring me joy)

Urukundo rwawe rwinshi,(Your love so great and boundless,)

Kumfasha no kumpira(He loves to help and pity)

N’Umurokozi wanjye,(You are my only Savior,)

Kandi yemera no kumpa(And You are willing still to give)

Amahoro y’ iteka(The peace that lasts forever)
