Gushimisha · 3 verses
Ababatijwe none,(Those baptized now,)
Ubarinde, Mwami,(Protect them, Lord,)
Ub’ umubyeyi wabo,(Be their parent,)
Kukw ar’ abangizi(For they are little ones)
Bajya mw ijuru bate ?(How can they go to heaven?)
Ntabgo bakwijyana,(They cannot take themselves,)
Keretse bakwizeye,(Unless they trust You,)
Wowe, Mucunguzi(You, the Redeemer)
Bashakish’ urukundo,(Show them love,)
Ujy’ ubaramira(Keep watching over them)
Bakwiringire, Mwami,(May they take refuge in You, Lord,)
Bahunge Satani;(May they flee from Satan;)
Muvunyi Yesu, ngwino,(Advocate Jesus, come,)
Ubakiz’ ibibi(Save them from evil)
Twese tuguhimbaze,(May we all praise You,)
Ng’ udukiz’ iteka(As You save us forever)
Mwam’ ubwawe wenyine,(Lord, by Your own power,)
Ubabatirishe(Baptize them with)
Umwuka wawe wera,(Your Holy Spirit,)
Bajye bakwizera;(That they may believe in You;)
Twese tuzafatanye,(May we all work together,)
Tuzab’ umwe rwose,(May we all be one,)
Duhore dukundana(May we always love one another)
Nkuko wadukunze(As You have loved us)
