Mukiz’ umpe kumenya,

Naho kab’ agace,

K’ urukundo rw’ igitangaza

Rwatumy’ udupfira

Umenyeshe, Mukiza,

Uko wababajwe,

Ubg’ Uwera wang’ ibyaha pe

Wishyiragahw ibyanjye

(Savior, let me know,)

(Even a small portion,)

(Of the amazing love)

(That made You die for us)

(Show me, Savior,)

(How You suffered,)

(That You the Holy One without sin)

(Were charged with my sins)

Umenyesh’ ibyo, Yesu,

(Beyond what could)

(Be known by man)

Mbes’ imbereri, Yesu,

Ni zo zakubambye ?
