Mwuka Wera wo mw ijuru,(Holy Spirit from heaven,)

Mugabyi w’ ubugingo we(Giver of His life)

Manuka, turakwinginze,(Come down, we beseech You,)

Sang’ imitim’ ikwifuza(For our hearts desire You)

2.

Utwerek’ uko tur’ uku,(Show us how we are here,)

Ko twishwe n’ ibicumuro;(That we are dead in iniquities;)

Utwereke na Krisito,(Show us also Christ,)

Ukw ari n’ ukw arokora(How He is and how He saves)

3.

Dore, turakwiragije,(Behold, we implore You,)

Kuk’ uz’ ibidukwiriye;(For You bring what we need;)

Tumaremw ibyaha byacu,(We are oppressed by our sins,)

Utwerek’ Umucunguzi(Show us the Redeemer)

4.

Twikish’ umuriro wawe(Kindle Your fire in us)

Imyand’ ubonye muri twe,(The weeds You see in us,)

Nk’ ishyari, nko kwihimbaza,(Like pride, like boasting,)

N’ ibindi byangwa na Yesu(And other things that angered Jesus)

5.

Uduh’ ubuntu bwa Yesu,(Give us the grace of Jesus,)

N’ ineza n’ amahoro bye,(And His goodness and peace,)

Uduhe n’ urukundo rwe(Give us also His love)

No kumuyobok’ iteka(And to obey Him forever)
