Yes’ Umucunguzi—Yashyizwe mu mva;(Jesus the Redeemer—Was laid in the tomb;)

Yategerezaga—Igihe cye(He was waiting—For His time)

Ku wa gatatu arazuka,(On the third day He arose,)

Az’ atsinz’ urupfu n’ Umubi:(He came conquering death and the Evil One:)

Ava mu mwijima yabinesheje(He came from the darkness He had conquered)

Yimanye mw ijuru n’ abacunguwe(He manifested Himself in heaven with the redeemed)

Yarazutse ! Yarazutse !(He has risen! He has risen!)

Tumushime ! Ariho !(Let us praise Him! It is true!)

2.

Barindiy’ ubusa—Umwami wacu;(They guarded in vain—Our Lord;)

Bakingiy’ ubusa—Cya gituro(They sealed in vain—That tomb)

3.

Ingoyi z’ urupfu—Yaraziciye,(The chains of death—He broke them,)

Ntizamuheranye: —Yavuyemo !(They could not hold Him: —He came out!)
