Gushimisha · 5 verses
Mw’ isi nd’ umushyitsi; —-Si ho nzab’ iteka;
Nzayivamo, ntahe—-Mw ijuru kwa Data
(In this world I'm a stranger;—Won't be here forever;)
(I will leave it, and go—To heaven with the Father)
Kandi nzamusanga—-Kuntebe y’ ubgiza
Na W azanyakira. Amp’ u buntu bginshi
(And I will find Him—At the throne of goodness)
(And He will welcome me, Give me abundant grace)
Maze, mban’ iteka—-Na We, nta gahinda
Sinzaruh’ ukundiHariy’ amahoro
(Then, I'll be forever—With Him, no sorrow)
(I'll never again be troubledWhere there is peace)
Mpore muhimbaza, —-Nikubit’ imbere
Y’ uwo Mutabazi—-Wankuye mu rupfu
(I'll be praising,—Kneeling before)
(That Redeemer—Who rescued me from death)
None, mfit’ ubwuzu—-Bwo kuzahagera,
Ngo mve mur’iyi si—Njye mu mucyo wawe
(Now, I have a longing—To reach there,)
(So that in this world—I may live in Your light)
