Mwami Yesu, turaje(Lord Jesus, we have come)

Ibyo mw’ isi tubireke,(Things of this world we leave aside,)

Dutekerez’ iby’ ijuru(We think of things of heaven)

Nta cyo twebwe twamenya,(Nothing do we ourselves know,)

Iyi mitim’ icyijimye,(These hearts are dark,)

Itakiwe n’ umucyo(They need the light)

Uva mu Mwuka w’ Imana(That comes from the Spirit of God)

Utwigishe kuyoboka,(Teach us to obey,)

Ngo tujye dukora neza(That we may go doing good)

Dore, Mwana w’ Imana,(Behold, Son of God,)

Twebwe twese tugusaba(All of us pray to You)

Ng’ utweresh’ imitima(That You pour into our hearts)

Umwuka wawe w’ ukuri;(Your Spirit of truth;)

Tujye twumva, turirimbe:(May we hear and sing:)

Tunezez’ Imana yacu(We please our God)
