Gushimisha · 5 verses
Wasiz’ ubgiza war’ ufite mw ijuru,
Ubwo wazaga mw isi, Yesu;
No mw ivuka ryawe nta hantu hariho
Hagutunganiye, Mwami
Ngwin’ uze mu mutima wanjye,
Umbemo, ndabikwemereye
Ngwin’ utahe mu mutima wanjye,
Wiboneremw aho kuba
(You left the glory You had in heaven,)
(When You came to earth, Jesus;)
(And at Your birth there was no place)
(Prepared for You, Lord)
(Come and enter my heart,)
(Dwell in me, I am willing)
(Come and stay in my heart,)
(Make Yourself at home there)
Mbes’ abamalayika ntibagushingije,
Ubwo wimikwaga, Krisito ?
Ariko, Mwami, wicishije bugufi,
Utuvukir’ utyo mw isi !
(Did not the angels praise You,)
(When You were being born, Christ?)
(Yet, Lord, You humbled Yourself,)
(Being born thus into the world!)
Dor’ inyoni yos’ igir’ aho yarika,
Na y’ ingunzu ntibur’ intaho
Ariko Wowe, Mwami Yesu, wabuze Ah’ urambik’ umusaya
(See, every bird has where it nests,)
(And the fox has its den)
(But You, Lord Jesus, had no place Where You could lay Your head)
Waj’ uzany’ Ijambo rizima, Krisito,
Ryo kubatur’ abantu bawe
Bakwitura kwang’ urukundo rwaw’ ubgo,
Bakumanika ku giti
Ngwin’ ube mu mutima wanjye:
Nizigiy’ urwo rupfu rwawe !
Ngwin’ utahe mu mutima wanjye:
Nizigiy’ Umusaraba
(You came bringing the living Word, Christ,)
(To deliver Your people)
(They rejected Your wonderful love,)
(They nailed You to the tree)
(Come, dwell in my heart:)
(I remember that death of Yours!)
(Come and stay in my heart:)
(I remember the Cross)
Abari mw ijuru bazagusingiza,
N’ uza kwima ya ngoma yawe
Nzumv’ umbwir’ uti: Mfit’ aho nkugeneye,
Ngwino, wimane nanjy’ ubu !
Bizanezeza cyane, Yesu,
Ubwo nzumv’ ijwi ryawe ryiza !
Bizanezeza cyane, Mukiza;
Nzagusingiza, ntahwema!
(Those in heaven will praise You,)
(When You come to establish Your kingdom)
(I'll hear You tell me: I have prepared a place for you,)
(Come, dwell with Me now!)
(It will be so joyful, Jesus,)
(When I hear Your beautiful voice!)
(It will be so joyful, Savior;)
(I will praise You, unceasingly!)
