Mukiza, wadutoreye

Kuba nk’ umubir’ umwe;

Urashaka yuko twera,

Twihanganira byose

Ntushaka n’ ibitatanya

Abo waje guhira;

Urukundo rwawe, Mwami,

Ruduhuz’ imitima

(Savior, You chose us)

(To be like one body;)

(You want us to be holy,)

(Bearing with each other in all things)

(You do not want discord)

(Among those You came to save;)

(Your love, Lord,)

(May it unite our hearts)

2.

Yemw’ abakundwa na Yesu,

Na none nimwongere

Muvuge mwes’ imbere ye

Ibyo mwasezeranye

Kandi ni mwongera kumva

K’ urukundo rwatubye,

Mumwingingish’ imitima,

Yemere kubuzuza

(You beloved of Jesus,)

(Now once again)

(Speak all before Him)

(What you promised)

(And again hear)

(The love He had for us,)

(Ask Him in your hearts,)

(May He agree to fill you)

3.

Bana b’ Imana Rurema,

Ntimutinye kwitanga ;

Mu kubaho kwanyu kose,

Mukundane mwihwema !

Umukiza wacu Yesu

Ni kw ajy’ atugirira,

Ngo haboneke muri twe

Ubuntu bw’ Uwiteka

(Children of God the Creator,)

(Do not fear to give yourselves;)

(In all your living,)

(Love one another earnestly!)

(Our Savior Jesus)

(That is what He does for us,)

(That there may be seen in us)

(The mercy of the Lord)

4.

Mwami Yesu, wakomeje

Isezerano ryacu;

Kand’ utwigishe kubana

Mu rukundo nyakuri

Mwam’ ujy’ uruduh’ iteka,

Rudacogora rwose;

Ni bo bose bazamenya

Yuko watwitoreye

(Lord Jesus, You confirmed)

(Our covenant;)

(And You taught us to live)

(In true love)

(Lord, You give us forever,)

(Never diminishing at all;)

(Then all will know)

(That You have chosen us)
