1.

Ngutuy’ ubugingo bwanjye,

Yesu, Mwana w’ lrnana;

Ubwakire n’ urukundo,

Ngo bub’ ubwaw’ iteka

Nkuzaniy’ ibyaha byanjye

N’ umutim’ unangiwe:

Mu maraso wamviriye,

Unyoze, Mucunguzi

(I give You my life,)

(Jesus, Son of God;)

(Your kindness and love,)

(Let them be Yours forever)

(I bring You my sins)

(And my troubled heart:)

(In Your blood they are sufficient,)

(Wash me, Savior)

2.

Uz’ uko mpora nirwanya

Ngo nkomez’ umutima;

Uz’ uko nari merewe

N’ ishavu n’ agahinda

Ububasha bwawe, Mwami,

Bundokore mu byaha

Kand’ Umwuka w’ ubugingo

Ujy’ unkura mu bibi

(You know how quickly I struggle)

(To be firm in heart;)

(You know how I was wounded)

(By shame and sorrow)

(Your power, Lord,)

(Deliver me from sins)

(And the Spirit of life)

(Continues to draw me from evil)

3.

Nemeye kwitanga rwose,

Nta cyo nishigarije;

Mpisemo kujyana nawe

No kukumvira, yesu

Njye nkuyobokan’ ishimwe

Kukw ari wow’ ubimpa;

Ujy’ unyobor’ inzir’ ijya

Mu bgami bgawe bgiza

(I agree to surrender completely,)

(Nothing have I reserved;)

(I choose to walk with You)

(And to obey You, Jesus)

(I accompany You with praise)

(Because You are the one who gives it;)

(You continue to lead me on the path going)

(To Your glorious kingdom)

4.

Reb’ uyu muhigo mpize

Nibwo nzivuguruza

Wukomeresh’ amaraso

N’ urukundo wankunze

Itek’ iyo nirebyeho,

Ndiheba, nkazimira;

Ariko kuk’ ujy’ unkunda,

Uzamfasha, Mukiza

(Behold this covenant I made)

(Is what I renew)

(Strengthen it with blood)

(And the love You loved me)

(Forever when I look at it,)

(I stumble, and become weak;)

(But because You continue to love me,)

(You will help me, Savior)
