Bene Data bizeye Yesu,
Umucunguzi wacu mwiza,
Mwitange mutagabanije,
Nubwo benshi babinaniwe
{ Aheza mw ijuru
Tuzahurirayo, bagenzi. } x 2
(Children of the Father trust in Jesus,)
(Our beautiful Savior,)
(Surrender without holding back,)
(Though many have opposed it)
({ There in heaven)
(We shall meet there, companions. } x 2)
Mwe gutinya ! Yes’ ubge ni We
Waneshej’ urupfu n’ ibyaha
Mwirinde, mwe guh’ abanzi be
Urwitwazo rwo kumutuka
(Do not fear! Yes, indeed it is He)
(Who defeated death and sins)
(Be careful, beware of His enemies)
(The temptation to deny Him)
Yemw’ ababyaw’ ubwa kabiri,
Yesu ni We mukunzi wacu;
Ni We nzira y’ abamukunda;
Ni We mukuru w’ ubugingo
(Yes to those born again,)
(Jesus is our beloved;)
(He is the way of those who love Him;)
(He is the author of life)
Yemw’ abacunguwe na Yesu
Mugacunguzw’ amaraso ye
Yababohoye kwa Satani,
Ababohoj’ amaraso ye
(Yes to those saved by Jesus)
(Being cleansed by His blood)
(He freed them from Satan,)
(He freed them by His blood)
Tur’ ishyanga rye yironkeye,
Yadukuye ku Musaraba
Az’ adushoreye hw iminyago:
None, tujye tumunezeza !
(We are His nation He acquired,)
(He bought us on the Cross)
(And He has appointed us to glory:)
(Now, let us go and please Him!)
Ntimugafatanye n’ iby’ isi;
Mwemere kozwa n’ amaraso:
Mujye mwuzur’ Umwuka Wera
Ibyo nibyo bimunezeza
(Do not join with worldly things;)
(Agree to be washed by blood:)
(Go and be filled with the Holy Spirit)
(These are what please you)
Yemw’ abatura, ntimwihane,
Mwe gushavuz’ Umucunguzi !
Murabuz’ abandi kwihana;
Mukingiran’ Umwuka Wera !
(Yes you who dwell, do not be ashamed,)
(To profess the Savior!)
(You call others to be ashamed;)
(Receive the Holy Spirit!)
Yes’ umugabe w’ ubugingo,
Ni we twese dutegereje
Ntituzongera gushoberwa
Nk’ abatahaw’ Umwuka Wera
(Jesus is the giver of life,)
(He is the one we all await)
(We will not be deceived again)
(Like those who ignore the Holy Spirit)
