Gushimisha · 6 verses

1.

Mukiza, ni Wowe zuba ryanjye:(Savior, You are my sun:)

Nta joro ngir’ iyo turi kumwe(I have no night when we are together)

Iby’ isi bye kub’ igicu(Let not worldly things be a cloud)

Kinkingiriz’ umucyo wawe !(That blocks Your light from me!)

2.

Kand’ iyo mbony’ ibitotsi byiza,(And when I find sweet sleep,)

Bikanduhur’ umubir’ urushye,(Giving rest to a tired body,)

Nibuke yuko mw ijuru,(Let me remember that in heaven,)

Nzahora nkwiseguye, Yesu(I will always trust in You, Jesus)

3.

Tujye tuguman’ umunsi wire,(Let us stay together all day long,)

Kuko ntabaho tutari kumwe;(For there is no life apart from You;)

Tugumane na n’ ijoro;(Stay with us even at night;)

Tutabanye, natinya gupfa(Without being together, I fear death)

4.

Niba hagiz’ uwasuzuguye(If there is anyone who has despised)

Ijwi ry’ Imana kur’ uyu munsi,(The voice of God on this day,)

Tangira none, Mukiza,(Begin now, Savior,)

Kumuyobor’ inzira nziza(To guide them on the good path)

5.

Mwam’ abarwayi, mubane maso,(Lord, watch over the sick,)

Uh’ abaken’ imigisha myinshi,(Give the poor many blessings,)

Kand’ abapfushije na bo,(And those who are grieving too,)

Mwam’ ubasinzirize neza(Lord, put them to sleep well)

6.

Kandi, Yesu, tuzakangukane,(And, Jesus, let us wake up together,)

Dukor’ imirimo, turi kumwe,(Let us work, being together,)

Nyuma tuzajye mw ijuru(Later we will go to heaven)

Tugoswe n’ urukundo rwawe(Embraced by Your love)
