Ndagushimiye, Mukiza,

Urukunda wankunze;

Nuk’ umpindur’ umugende

W’ amazi y’ ubugingo

Mb’ umugende gusa, Yesu,

Wuzuyemw imbaraga

Z’ agakiza kawe, Mwami,

Kabone kuntembamo !

(I thank You, Savior,)

(Loving One who has loved me;)

(Make me a channel)

(Of the waters of life)

(Just a channel, Jesus,)

(Filled with power)

(Of Your salvation, Lord,)

(May it flow through me!)

2.

Mb’ umugend’ ugez’ amazi

Mu mitim’ isaraye,

Ibone kunyw’ agakiza

K’ ubutumwa bg’ ineza

(Be a channel bringing water)

(To the thirsty hearts,)

(That they may drink salvation)

(Of the message of grace)

3.

Mb’ ikibindi cyawe, Yesu:

Nuk’ unyoz’ untunganye,

Maz’ unyuzuz’ ayo mazi,

Ni yo Mwuka w’ Imana

(Be Your vessel, Jesus:)

(Empty and cleanse me,)

(Then fill me with that water,)

(Which is the Spirit of God)

4.

Mb’ umugabo wo guhamya

Uburyo wankijije:

Waranguze ngo mb’ uwawe,

Nuk’ unyuzure rwose

(Be a witness to proclaim)

(How You saved me:)

(You redeemed me to be Yours,)

(Fill me completely)

5.

Yesu suk’ Umwuka Wera

Mu mutima wanjy’ ubu,

Kugira ngo ngez’ amazi

Yawe mu basaraye !

(Jesus, pour out the Holy Spirit)

(In my heart right now,)

(So that I may bring water)

(From You to the thirsty!)
