168. Mbumbatiwe nawe, Yesu

Nta kizampangara,(Nothing can separate us,)

Kand’ urukund’ umfitiye(And the love You have for me)

Ni rwo runduhur’ ubu(Is what comforts me now)

Numvis’ amajwi meza(I hear the beautiful voices)

Y’ abatugiy’ imbere;(Of those who went before us;)

Bahora baririmba,(They are always singing,)

Bashima Yesu, bati:(Praising Jesus, saying:)

Mbumbatiwe nawe, Yesu,(I am bound together with You, Jesus,)

Nta kizampangara,(Nothing can separate us,)

Kand’ urukund’ umfitiye(And the love You have for me)

Ni rwo runduhur’ ubu(Is what comforts me now)

Ntabwo nkiganyira(I do not doubt it)

Nta cyo Satan’ antwar’ ubu(Satan can take nothing from me now)

N’ amahane ye yose(With all his schemes)

Kand’ amakuba na yo(And even trials)

Ntashobora kunsinda(Cannot overcome me)

Ibyago by’ isi byose(All the dangers of this world)

Ntibyadutandukanya(Cannot separate us)

Yesu wamfiriye,(Jesus who died for me,)

Wowe, Rutare nshinzweho,(You, the Rock on which I am founded,)

Nzakwiringir’ iteka(I will trust You forever)

Nuko, njye nihangana:(So, I persevere:)

Dor’ iri joro ribi(See this evil night)

Vuba rigiye gucya,(Will soon pass,)

Mpereko njye mw jjuru !(Bring me to heaven!)
