216. Singishak ubutunzi

Bo mur’ iyi si mbi;(Found in this evil world;)

Ndifuz’ubgo mw ijuru(I desire a home in heaven)

No kuzagerayo(And to reach there)

Mu gitabo cy’ ubgami(In the book of the kingdom)

Cyanditswemw abera,(Where the saints are written,)

Mbese, Yesu Mukiza,(Tell me, Jesus Savior,)

Jye wanyanditsemo ?(Have You written me in?)

Mu gitabo Cyawe,(In Your book,)

Harimw iryanjye se ?(Is my name there?)

Mu gitabo cyubwami,(In the book of the kingdom,)

Mbese, nanditsemo ?(Tell me, am I written in?)

N’ umuseny’ ubginshi(As the sand abundant)

Ngwino, Yesu ubirohe(Come, Jesus, wash them away)

Mu maraso yawe(In Your blood)

Wadusezeranije(You promised us)

Yukw ibyaha byacu,(About our sins,)

Nahw ari nk’ umuhemba,(Even if they are like scarlet,)

Ng’ uzabyeza dede(That You will make them white)

Urimw inzu nyinshi;(With many mansions;)

Nta n’ ikibi kibayo(No evil dwells there)

N’ ah’abacunguwe(Where the redeemed are)

Ubgo nogejw’ibyaha(When I'm cleansed from sins)

Mu maraso yawe,(In Your blood,)

Nziko wandits’ iryanjye(I'll know You've written my name)

Mu gitabo cyawe(In Your book)

Mu gitabo Cyawe,(In Your book,)

Iryanjye ririmo:(My name is in it:)

Mu gitabo cy’ ubgami,(In the book of the kingdom,)

Nziko nanditswemo !(I'll know I am written in!)
