Mana yo mw ijuru,(God in heaven above,)

Byos’ uri nyira byo,(All things are Yours,)

Kand’ ubiduh’ ubudasiba(And You give them freely)

Utang’ utimana;(Without measure;)

Ujy’ udukenura,(You care for us,)

Bituma tuguhimbaza(Therefore we praise You)

2.

Impan’ ihebuje(The precious gift)

Yes’ atugabira(Jesus gave to us)

N’ ubuntu bge n’ amahoro ye(His kindness and His peace)

Yatubabariye,(He has forgiven us,)

Twaramugomeye:(Though we rebelled:)

Mbes’ ibyo s’ igitangaza?(Is this not amazing?)

Mwami, ndakwingize,(Lord, I worship You,)

Nubgo ntakwiriye,(Though I am unworthy,)

Nyigiza hafi, tugumane!(Draw near, let us stay close!)

Mpa kugukorera,(Give me to serve You,)

Ndusheho kwemera(Help me believe more)

Gukund’ ibiri mw ijuru!(To love the things of heaven!)
