1.

Habay’umunsi w’ishimwe mw’ijuru,(There was a glorious day in heaven,)

Yesu yitanga ngw’agere mw’isi,(Jesus surrendered to come to earth,)

Aza kubyarwa n’umwar’utunganye,(Coming to be born of a humble virgin,)

Uwer’aturana natw’ababi(The pure one came to live with us sinners)

Dore urukundo rwatumy’ampfira,(Behold the love that made Him die for me,)

Ibyaha byanjy’abibamba mu mva !(My sins He bore in the tomb!)

Maz’arazuka ngo ampuze na Se(Then He rose so He could reconcile me to the Father)

Nagaruka nzamushimir’ibyo(And I will return to praise Him for that)

2.

Habay’umunsi babamb’Umukiza(There was a day they crucified the Savior)

I Gologota ku Musaraba(At Golgotha on the Cross)

Ahemurw’avumw’atukwa n’abantu(He was despised, mocked, insulted by people)

Yikorer’ ibyaha byanjye byose !(He took upon Himself all my sins!)

3.

Habay’umuns’aruhukira mu mva(There was a day He rested in the tomb)

Harindwa n’abamarayika be(Guarded by His angels)

Niko yitanze ngo amber’Umukiza(Thus He gave Himself to be the Savior)

Bihebe mwese, mumwiringire !(Bow down all of you, depend on Him!)

4.

Habay’umunsi satan’aratsindwa(There was a day Satan was defeated)

Ntiyaheza Yesu mu gituro(He could not keep Jesus in the grave)

Nukw’arazuka, urupf’arutsinze,(So He rose, death He conquered,)

None ari mw’ijuru iburyo bwa Se(Now He is in heaven at the right hand of the Father)

5.

Hazab’umunsi tuzumv’ah’impanda(There will be a day we will hear the trumpet)

Harabagiran’ijuru ryose(Resounding throughout all heaven)

Yes’uwo azaza mu bwiza bwe bwose(Yes He will come in all His glory)

Azim’ingom’ uwo Mwami wanjye(He will silence the drum, that Lord of mine)
