Mw isi yacu no mw ijuru(In our world and in heaven above)

Nta zina nk’ irya Yesu:(There's no name like the name of Jesus:)

Nk’ iry’ uwatubambiwe(Like the name of the Crucified One)

Iryo zina. . . ndarikunda. . . ,(That name... I love it... ,)

Ry’ Umucunguzi Wanjye!(Of my Redeemer!)

Iryo zina. . . rihebuje. .(That name... so precious..)

Ni ryo rinyiringiza(It is my hope secure)

Nihagir’ umuntu ushimwa(Even if there's a person honored)

Naho yakirush’ abandi,(Though they surpass all others,)

Iryo zina ryiza cyane(That beautiful name of Jesus)

Ereg’ iryo zina ryiza(Behold that precious name)

Nzajya nkwikubit’ imbere(I will keep bowing before Him)

Ni nkubona Mw’ijuru,(When I see You in heaven,)

Wow’ Umwam’ utwar’ abami;(You the King who rules all kings;)

Nyirigir’ usingizwe !(I long to worship You!)
