Munyabyaha, mwinjize !(O sinner, let Him in!)

Uh’ Umwami Yes’ ahw aba:(Hear the Lord Jesus standing there:)

Umvir’ Ijwi rye ryinginga !(Listen to His voice calling!)

Kingur’ umutima wawe,(Open your heart,)

Yinjiremo, yimemo !(Let Him enter, let Him dwell!)

Dor’ imirimo n’ iby’ isi(Behold the works and worldly things)

Udatungurwa n’ urupfu,(Before you're surprised by death,)
