Rukundo rwinshi, —Buntu butarutwa,

Umwami Yesu—Kw agiriwe nabi,

Akubitirwa—Ibibi nakoze

Ngw’ anshungure rwose: —Abishimirwe

Ubuntu bwawe—Bumfasha, Mwami

Busumba cyane—Impano zose

Njya ntekereza, —Nkir’ aha mw isi,

Ubwo buntu bwinshi—Bwanshunguye

(Great love, —Unsurpassed grace,)

(The Lord Jesus—How He was treated badly,)

(Being struck—For the evil I did)

(To redeem me completely: —Let Him be praised)

(Your grace—Helps me, Lord)

(It surpasses greatly—All gifts)

(I keep thinking, —While I'm here in the world,)

(Of that great grace—That redeemed me)

2.

Kand’ iyo ngoswe—N’ umwijima mwinshi

Inshuti yanjye—Imfat’ ukuboko;

Singitiny’ ubwo, —Ari y’ imfashije:

Ntumbira mw ijuru, —Yes’ antinyuye

(For when I'm surrounded—By much darkness)

(My friend—Takes my hand;)

(I don't fear then, —For He helps me:)

(He carries me to heaven, —Jesus strengthens me)

3.

Umusaraba—Wawe ni w’ unkiza;

Ni W’ unduhura—Rwos’ imibabaro

N’ ubuhungiro—Bwanjye buhoraho;

Umbera n’ icyiru—Ku Mucamanza

(The Cross—Yours is what saves me;)

(It's what removes—All my sorrows)

(And my refuge—That's forever mine;)

(You protect me with a shield—Before the Judge)
