Mbe nk’ umurase w’ izuba

Aho ngera hose,

Mbonesh’ umucyo wa Yesu

Mu mwijima w’ isi

Yesu, Mucyo w’ isi,

Mbe nk’ umurase kubwawe,

Ngez’ umucyo wawe

Mu mwijima w’ iyi si !

(Let me be like a ray of sunlight)

(Wherever I go,)

(Showing the light of Jesus)

(In the darkness of the world)

(Jesus, Light of the world,)

(Let me be like a ray for You,)

(Bringing Your light)

(Into the darkness of this world!)

Mbe rik’ umurase w’ izuba

weyur’ umwijima

wo mu mitima y’ abantu

Bataz’ Umukiza

(Let me be like a ray of sunlight)

(That dispels the darkness)

(In the hearts of people)

(Who do not know the Savior)

3.

Mbe nk’ umurase w’ izuba,

Mfash’ ab’ i muhira,

Nkwiz’ amahoro ya Yesu

Mu bo duturanye

(Let me be like a ray of sunlight,)

(Helping those at home,)

(Spreading the peace of Jesus)

(Among those we live with)

4.

Mbe nk’ umurase w’ izuba:

Mbisezeranye ntyo

Nerekan’ ingeso nziza ;

Ziva kuri Yesu

(Let me be like a ray of sunlight:)

(I have promised this)

(To show good character;)

(They come from Jesus)
