Iy’ utewe n’ amakub’ akomeye,
Ukiheb’ ubonye ko bicitse pe,
Jyubar’ imigisha yaw’ ukw ingana !
Erega ni myinshi yo gutangaza !
Bar’ iyo migisha nonaha,
Iy’ Imana yakugabiye
Uyibare ! Ntusige n’ umwe !
Erega ni myinshi yo gutangaza !
(When struck by troubles great and strong,)
(You despair that nothing good remains,)
(Count the blessings you've been given!)
(Behold, they are many and amazing!)
(Count those blessings one by one,)
(That God has given you)
(Count them! Don't leave out even one!)
(Behold, they are many and amazing!)
Nturemerewe, se, no kwiganyira ?
Ugira ngo ntibicyihanganirwa ?
Bara ya migish’ Iman’ ijy’ iguha,
Umutitn’ ushyike munda, wishime !
(Are you weary and discouraged?)
(Do you feel you cannot bear it?)
(Count the blessings God keeps giving,)
(Lift your heart within, rejoice!)
Har’ abakurushij’ amajyambere,
Arikw aya Yesu ni y’ ahebuje !
Ereg’ ubutunz’ ufite mw ijuru,
Bgo nta wabugura ! Nuko, humura !
(There are those who have more progress,)
(But these things Jesus gives are precious!)
(Behold the treasure you have in heaven,)
(That no one can buy! So be comforted!)
Amakuba naho yaba mensh’ ate
We kwiheb’ Iman’ irayategeka
Wibuk’ imigisha yakugabiye !
Byos’ izabitungany’ ikuyobore!
(Though troubles may be many more)
(Don't despair, God still reigns above)
(Remember the blessings He's given you!)
(He will arrange them all to guide you!)
