Ababatijwe none,

Ubarinde, Mwami,

Ub’ umubyeyi wabo,

Kukw ar’ abangizi

Bajya mw ijuru bate ?

Ntabgo bakwijyana,

Keretse bakwizeye,

Wowe, Mucunguzi

(Those baptized now,)

(Protect them, Lord,)

(Be their parent,)

(For they are little ones)

(How can they go to heaven?)

(They cannot take themselves,)

(Unless they trust You,)

(You, the Redeemer)

Bashakish’ urukundo,

Ujy’ ubaramira

Bakwiringire, Mwami,

Bahunge Satani;

Muvunyi Yesu, ngwino,

Ubakiz’ ibibi

Twese tuguhimbaze,

Ng’ udukiz’ iteka

(Show them love,)

(Keep watching over them)

(May they take refuge in You, Lord,)

Mwam’ ubwawe wenyine,

Ubabatirishe

Umwuka wawe wera,

Bajye bakwizera;

Twese tuzafatanye,

Tuzab’ umwe rwose,

Duhore dukundana

Nkuko wadukunze

(Lord, by Your own power,)

(Baptize them with)

(Your Holy Spirit,)

(That they may believe in You;)

(May we all work together,)

(May we all be one,)

(May we always love one another)

(As You have loved us)
