1.

Umurimo wacu—Ni mwiza cyane:

Dushakire Yesu—Abazimiye

Iyo babonetse, —Abo mw ijuru

Bajya baririmba, —Bat’ Aratsinze

Uyu murimo ni mwiza;

N’ Umwami Yesu ntahwema

Dushishikare dukore:

Ni W uduter’ imbaraga

(Our work is very beautiful:)

(Let us seek for Jesus those who are lost)

(When they are found, those in heaven)

(Go on singing, saying He has won)

(This work is beautiful;)

(And Lord Jesus does not rest)

(Let us be zealous and work:)

(He is the One who gives us strength)

2.

Uwitek’ ashimirw’ —Umucunguzi

Wadutoye twese—Ngo tube benshi

Tur’ ab’ intege nke: —Tujye twizera,

Twe kugir’ ubute—Tumukorera

(May the Most High be praised, the Redeemer)

(Who chose us all to be many)

(We are weak: let us go in faith,)

(We who are humble, serving Him)

3.

Uyu murimo we—Tuwuhoremo:

Twibuk’ izo mbuto, —Tuzibagare !

Nyir’ ibisarurwa—Yaradutumye:

Tuzagororerwa—Tuzimuritse

(His work, let us be in it:)

(Let us remember those seeds, and scatter them!)

(The owner of the harvest has sent us:)

(We will be rewarded when we have been diligent)

4.

Mu makuba yose—N’ ibibabaza,

Naho batugaya, —Tuzakomere

Twibuk’ umurimo, —Tuwukomeze,

Tub’ ab’ urukundo, —Ben’ Uwiteka !

(In all troubles and sufferings,)

(Even if they mock us, we will stand firm)

(Let us remember the work, let us persevere in it,)

(Let us be people of love, children of the Most High!)
