Yesu, ni Wowe dushima:

Watuguz’ amaraso yawe

Cya gihe wadupfiraga

Imibiri n’ imitima

N’ iyawe kubw’ ubuntu bwawe

Buduhay’ ubukiriro

None tur’ abawe—Kuko wadutoye;

Tugushime, —Udukere, Mucyo wacu,

Twe kuguma mu mwijima

(Jesus, it is You we praise:)

(You bought us with Your blood)

(When You were dying for us)

(Bodies and hearts)

(Are Yours because of Your grace)

(That gave us life)

(Now we are Yours because You chose us;)

(We praise You, protect us, our Light,)

(Lest we remain in darkness)

2.

Twebwe si twe twagushatse:

Ni Wow’ ubwawe wadukunze

Kubw’ ubuntu bwawe bwinshi

Twebwe nta ntege dufite:

Nta wabasha kugukorera,

Utamuhay’ imbaraga,

Yobor’ imitima ! —Tujyane kwa Data

Mu bgami bwe: —Ab’ ukuri babushaka

Ntibanga gusuzugurwa

(We are not the ones who sought You:)

(It is You who loved us of Your own will)

(Because of Your abundant grace)

(We have no strength:)

(No one can serve You,)

(Unless You give them power,)

(Guide our hearts! Take us to the Father)

(In His kingdom: Those who truly seek it)

(Will not refuse to be transformed)

3.

Garagaz’ ubuntu bgawe

Ku bataz’ ubwami bw’ Imana,

Bigumiye mu mwijima

Kera kose ntibumvise

Ubutumwa butunezeza

Bukesh’ imitima yacu

None, wategetse—Umucyo w’ ukuri

Ng’ uboneke. —Mwami Yesu, tuyobore,

Utwerek’ inzira yawe

(Show Your grace)

(To those who do not know the kingdom of God,)

(Living in darkness)

(Who have never heard before)

(The good news)

(That touched our hearts)

(Now, You have commanded the light of truth)

(To appear. Lord Jesus, guide us,)

(Show us Your way)

4.

Ibisarurwa ni byinshi,

Abasaruzi ni bakeya:

Tum’ abagusarurira !

Duhatwe n’ ubuntu bwawe

Guhamagar’ abantu benshi,

Bahabw’ ibyiza by’ Imana

Uwemerwa wese—Mu bgami bg’ Imana

Arahirwa; —Anezezwa n’ amahoro

Azagir’ iteka ryose

(The harvest is plentiful,)

(But the harvesters are few:)

(Send those who will harvest for You!)

(May we be driven by Your grace)

(To call many people,)

(To receive the blessings of God)

(Everyone who believes in the kingdom of God)

(Is blessed; is satisfied with peace)

(They will have it forever)
