Jye mpisemo Yesu; murutish’ iyi si yose;(I choose Jesus; more than all this world;)

Andutir’ amafaranga cyangw’ izahabu(He is worth more than money or gold)

Jye nkund’ Uwabambwe, murutisha n’ amatungo(I love the Crucified One, more than livestock)

Andutira n’ amasambu n’ amazu meza(He is worth more than gardens and fine houses)

Uwanyimika, nkab’ Umwami w’ ishyanga rinini rite,(Who can entice me, though I were king of a great nation,)

Nd’imbata y’ icyaha cyose, sinabikunda(I am a slave to sin no more, I do not love it)

Ahubgo niragije Yes’ Umukunzi wanjye:(Because I am going to Jesus my Beloved:)

Sinshyita ku biri mw Isi: Yes’ aranyuze !(I care not for what is in the world: Jesus satisfies me!)

2.

Jye mpisemo Yes’ Umucunguzi wanjy’ unkunda;(I choose Jesus the Savior who loves me;)

Andutira no gushimwa n’ ab’ isi bose(He is worth more than being praised by all people)

Umv’ icyo nifuza: sinshaka kumenyekana;(Hear what I desire: I do not seek to be known;)

Njye nyobok’ Umwami Yesu iminsi yose(I obey Lord Jesus all the days)

3.

Andyohera cyane: nta buki buryoha nka We;(He attracts me greatly: there is no sweetness like Him;)

Ni mwiza; n’ uw’ igikundiro cyinshi cyane;(He is beautiful; He is the one of much love;)

Ahumura neza kurush’ ibirabyo byose:(He comforts better than all medicine:)

Nabur’ iki se, mmufite, kw andangirije?(What else do I need, having Him, to be anxious?)
