Gushimisha · 6 verses
Yesu, Mwungeri wanjye,
Nd’ agatam’ undagire
Byose ndabitinyuka:
Nta wuzakunyambura !
(Jesus, my Shepherd,)
(I am a lamb You tend)
(All things I fear:)
(No one will take You from me!)
Mwami, waramfiriye
Kera ku Musaraba:
Mbonye n’ ibikomere
Mu biganz’ unteruje
(Lord, You died for me)
(Long ago on the Cross:)
(I saw the wounds)
(In the hands You stretched out)
None, njye ngusingiza,
Muri byose nkumvire !
Urukund’ umfitiye,
Ni rwo runyishimisha
(Now, I praise You,)
(In all things may I obey You!)
(The love You have for me,)
(That is what makes me rejoice)
Yesu, Mwungeri mwiza,
Non’ unyiyegereze !
Mmenyereza noneho,
Nzinukwe kuzimira!
(Jesus, Good Shepherd,)
(Now draw near to me!)
(I depend on You now,)
(May I never go astray!)
Mwami Yes’ unahorere,
nshe mu nzir’ifunganye;
Nta cyo nanz’ untegeke:
Wow’ uz’ ibinkwiriye!
(Lord Jesus, may You remain,)
(I am imprisoned in chains;)
(Nothing do I prepare for You:)
(You Yourself bring what is fitting!)
Ngez’ ah’ uri mw ijuru,
Ibijya binyobera,
Ni ho nzabimenyera,
Nshim’ uko wandagiye !
(When I arrive where You are in heaven,)
(All these mysteries,)
(That is where I will understand them,)
(Praising how You led me!)
