Gushimisha · 4 verses

1.

Nezerwa cyane, wa si we;(Greatly blessed, the whole world;)

Araje Shobuja !(The Master has come!)

Mwa bayibamo mwese mwe,(All you who dwell here,)

Musangwe mwinonosoye,(Though you find yourselves impoverished,)

Nimumukingurire,(Open your hearts to Him,)

Mumwakir’ abiharire;(Welcome Him who has prepared;)

Kand’ ibyaremwe byose bimuhimbaze !(And let all creation praise Him!)

2.

Nezerwa cyane, wa si we,(Greatly blessed, the whole world,)

Ko yimy’ ingoma ye !(For He has established His kingdom!)

Mwa bantu mwe, twishimane,(People, let us rejoice,)

Tunezerwe bihebuje(Let us be exceedingly glad)

Namwe, bamarayika,(You also, angels,)

Turirimban’ ishimwe rye(Let us sing His praise)

Namwe misozi mwese, nimurangire !(You mountains all, shout aloud!)

3.

Non’ ibitovu n’ amahwa(Now the valleys and hills)

Nimubirimbure !(Sing them out!)

Twanizwe n’ ibicumuro(We were lost by transgressions)

N’ intimba byatumezemo(And debts that brought us down)

Yes’ araturengera(Jesus watches over us)

Ngw abirandure muri twe,(To reveal them in us,)

Wa muvum’ awusimbuz’ umugisha we(That preacher who proclaims His blessing)

4.

Yazanywe no kuganz’ isi,(He was sent to rule the earth,)

Ngo twes’ atwereke(That we might show)

Ishimwe n’ icyubahiro(Glory and honor)

Bituruka mu kwera kwe(That comes from His holiness)

No mu rukund’ afite,(And from the love He has,)

Urw’ akund’ abacumuye(The love He has for the offended)

Tumuhimbaze: n’ Umukiz’ utangaje !(Let us praise Him: He is the wonderful Savior!)
