Mw isi yacu no mw ijuru
Nta zina nk’irya Yesu:
Nta rindi ryampumuriza
Nk’iry’ uwatubambiwe
Iryo zina. . . ndarikunda. . . ,
Ry’umucunguzi Wanjye !
Iryo zina. . . rihebuje. .
Ni ryo rinyiringiza
(In our world and in heaven above)
(There's no name like the name of Jesus:)
(No other name brings comfort to me)
(Like the name of the Crucified One)
(That name... I love it... ,)
(Of my Redeemer true!)
(That name... so precious..)
(It is my hope secure)
Nihagir’umunt’ushimwa
W’umunyacyubahiro,
Naho yakirush’abandi,
Yes’ aramuhebuza !
(Even if there's a person honored)
(Of great reputation and fame,)
(Though they surpass all others,)
(Jesus is greater still!)
Iryo zina ryiza cyane
Ni ryo ngab’inkingira
Irya myambi ya Satani;
Ntabwo yarishobora !
(That beautiful name of Jesus)
(Is my strong refuge from)
(The arrows of Satan;)
(He cannot prevail!)
Ereg’iryo zina ryiza
Sinz’uko naryogeza,
Nzajya mw’ijuru Kubgaryo,
Mpore nsingiza Yesu !
(Behold that precious name)
(I will never tire of it,)
(I will go to heaven because of it,)
(So I can worship Jesus!)
Ni ryo rimpesh’ubutware
Bgo Kunesh’ibyi’iyi si,
Rikamvana mu buretwa,
Rikamp’umudendezo !
(It gives me the strength)
(To overcome this world's trials,)
(It helps me in my weakness,)
(It gives me consolation!)
Nzajya nkwikubit’imbere
Ni nkubona Mw’ijuru,
Wow’ Umwam’ utwar’abami;
Nyirigir’ usingizwe !
(I will keep falling before Him)
(When I see You in heaven,)
(You the King who rules all kings;)
(I long to worship You!)
