Gushimisha · 5 verses
Nganirir’ibya Yesu
N’ iby’ urukundo rwe
N’ uko yavuye mw ijuru,
Ngwaz’ aducungure
Ni yo
magamb’ ankwiriye,
Nd’ indushyi, mpindanye
Yamviriy’ amaraso ye
Ngw’anshungure, mb’ uwe
Nganirir’ ibya Yesu ( x 3)
N’iby’urukundo rwe
(Tell me about Jesus)
(And of His love)
(And how He came down from heaven,)
(Coming to redeem us)
(These are)
(The words I need,)
(For I am zealous, ruined)
(He shed His blood)
(To save me, make me His)
(Tell me about Jesus (x 3))
(And of His love)
Twagereranya n’ iki
Ibyo yababajwe
Ntiyanze kutubambirwa
Ngwadukiz’ibyaha
Bisubiremo witonze,
Ne kubyibagirwa,
Ngo meny’ icyo yankoreye
N’ uko yanshunguye
(What can we compare)
(To what He suffered)
(He did not refuse to be wounded for us)
(To save us from sin)
(Repeat it carefully,)
(Lest I forget it,)
(That I may know what He did for me)
(And how He saved me)
Onger’ unyibuts’ ibye,
Mbimeny’uko biri
Bivug’ uburyo bgoroshye
Nk’ ubgiriz’ umwana
N’ umbonan’ umubabaro,
Ujy’ umber’ inshuti,
Umbwir’ iby’ ubwo buntu bwe
Ngo bimpumurize
(Remind me again of His story,)
(Let me know it as it is)
(Speak in simple terms)
(As you would to a child)
(And show me the sorrow,)
(Coming before a friend,)
(Tell me of that kindness of His)
(That it may comfort me)
Hor’ ubimbwir’ iteka:
Ntibizandambira
Umva, ni jye munyabyaha
Yesu yaj’ ashaka!
Erega, n’ igitangaza:
Mbyamamaze hose,
Uwer’ utagir’ inenge
Kumfira ndi mubi!
(Keep telling me forever:)
(I will never tire of it)
(Hear, I am the sinner)
(Jesus came to seek!)
(Indeed, it is wondrous:)
(Though I am utterly bad,)
(The Holy One without fault)
(Died for me though I am evil!)
Uzonger’ ubimbwire
Iteka n’ ubona
Yuko gukund’iby’ iyi si
Binyaz’ umugisha
Unyibuts’ iby’ isi yindi
Irut’ iyi cyane,
Ngo mbon’ Umwami w’ iyo si,
Antunganye, nyurwe
(You will tell me again)
(Forever, and see)
(That to love the things of this world)
(Destroys blessing)
(Remind me of that other world)
(Far greater than this one,)
(That I may see the King of that world,)
(Comfort me, fill me)
