Mana Dat’ ukiranuka,(God the Father compassionate,)

Ababatizwa none,(Those being baptized now,)

Ubah’ umugisha wawe,(Give them Your blessing,)

Kand’ ubarind’ iteka;(And protect them forever;)

Bahame mu bawe rwose,(May they remain among Yours completely,)

Bagushimishe, Mwami,(May they praise You, Lord,)

Kandi babe mw itorero,(And may they be in the church,)

Bitez’ ubgami bgawe(Seeking Your kingdom)

Mwam’ isezerano ryabo,(Lord, seal their covenant,)

Ngo baryibuk’ iteka,(That they remember it forever,)

Ubakomeze mu byawe(Strengthen them in Your ways)

Kuko wabapfiriye;(Because You died for them;)

Babeho mu byawe byiza,(May they live in Your goodness,)

Bagukunde mu kuri,(May they love You truly,)

Kuko waje kubakiza,(Because You came to save them,)

Bemere gucungurwa(May they accept redemption)

Mwam’ ubah’ Umwuka wawe,(Lord, give them Your Spirit,)

Bakuyoboke rwose,(That they may follow You completely,)

Babone no kwamamaza(May they find ways to proclaim)

Ibyiza byawe byose(All Your good things)

Niho twese tuzahabwa(Then we all will be given)

Ikamba ry’ ubugingo(The crown of life)
