Habay’umunsi w’ishimwe mw’ijuru,
Yesu yitanga ngw’agere mw’isi,
Aza kubyarwa n’umwar’utunganye,
Uwer’aturana natw’ababi
Dore urukundo rwatumy’ampfira,
Ibyaha byanjy’abibamba mu mva !
Maz’arazuka ngo ampuze na Se
Nagaruka nzamushimir’ibyo
(There was a glorious day in heaven,)
(Jesus surrendered to come to earth,)
(Coming to be born of a humble virgin,)
(The pure one came to live with us sinners)
(Behold the love that made Him die for me,)
(My sins He bore in the tomb!)
(Then He rose so He could reconcile me to the Father)
(And I will return to praise Him for that)
Habay’umunsi babamb’Umukiza
I Gologota ku Musaraba
Ahemurw’avumw’atukwa n’abantu
Yikorer’ ibyaha byanjye byose !
(There was a day they crucified the Savior)
(At Golgotha on the Cross)
(He was despised, mocked, insulted by people)
(He took upon Himself all my sins!)
Habay’umuns’aruhukira mu mva
Harindwa n’abamarayika be
Niko yitanze ngo amber’Umukiza
Bihebe mwese, mumwiringire !
(There was a day He rested in the tomb)
(Guarded by His angels)
(Thus He gave Himself to be the Savior)
(Bow down all of you, depend on Him!)
Habay’umunsi satan’aratsindwa
Ntiyaheza Yesu mu gituro
Nukw’arazuka, urupf’arutsinze,
None ari mw’ijuru iburyo bwa Se
(There was a day Satan was defeated)
(He could not keep Jesus in the grave)
(So He rose, death He conquered,)
(Now He is in heaven at the right hand of the Father)
Hazab’umunsi tuzumv’ah’impanda
Harabagiran’ijuru ryose
Yes’uwo azaza mu bwiza bwe bwose
Azim’ingom’ uwo Mwami wanjye
(There will be a day we will hear the trumpet)
(Resounding throughout all heaven)
(Yes He will come in all His glory)
(He will silence the drum, that Lord of mine)
