Gushimisha · 5 verses

1.

Har’ umusozi wa kure

Hafi y’ ururembo,

Ah’ Umukiza yabambwe

Watubabarijwe

(There is a hill far away)

(Near the city wall,)

(Where the Savior was nailed)

(Suffering for us)

2.

Ntabwo twabasha kumenya

Uko yababajwe!

Twizeye gusa kw’ar’ twe

Twatumy’ apfa nabi

(We cannot fully know)

(How He suffered!)

(We only believe that it was for us)

(That He died so cruelly)

3.

Ni cyo cyatumy’ ibyaha byacu

Byos’ uko bingana

Bikurwaho n’Uwiteka,

Tukazaban’ i We,

(This is what caused our sins)

(All of them no matter how many)

(To be removed by the Lord,)

(That we might dwell with Him,)

4.

Nta wundi wabasha kuba

Inshungu y’ ibyaha;

Ni we watwugururiye

Irembo ry’ ijuru

(No one else could bear)

(The anguish of sin;)

(It is He who opened for us)

(The gate of heaven)

5.

Nuk’ubwo yadukiinz’ atyo,

Natwe tumukunde,

Twiringir’amaraso ye,

Tumwumvire rwose

(So since He loved us so,)

(Let us also love Him,)

(Let us trust in His blood,)

(Let us obey Him completely)
