Reka nshim’ Umwami Yesu(Let me praise Lord Jesus)

Kuko yankunze rwose:(Because He truly loved me:)

Yarampinduye mb’ umwana,(He transformed me as a child,)

Ngo tubane mw ijuru(That we may live together in heaven)

Reka nshim’ Umwami Yesu(Let me praise Lord Jesus)

Ko yamvanye mu byaha;(For He saved me from sins;)

Noneho, mfit’ amahoro(Now, I have peace)

Arut’ ay’ isi cyane(That far surpasses that of the world)

Mur’ iyi si dutuyemo(In this world we live in)

Yuzuy’ uburiganya,(Full of deception,)

Ntabgo yabasha guhaza(It cannot satisfy)

Iby’ imitim’ ishaka.(What hearts desire.)

3.

Kand’ Umwuka wawe wera,(And Your Holy Spirit,)

Abamuhawe bose,(Given to all who receive Him,)

Ni W’ ujy’ abazinukisha(He goes renewing them)

Kwifuz’ iby’ isi byose,(From desiring worldly things,)

4.

Ujye wirukan’ ubwenge(He goes driving away the wisdom)

Bwa Satan’ anzanira(Of Satan that he brings me)

Bwo kuntandukanya nawe,(To separate me from You,)

Isoko y’ ubugingo(The source of life)

5.

Yemw’ ababyawe n’ lmana,(You who are hated by God,)

Mujye muhirimbana,(Go and compete with each other,)

Mugere ku Musaraba,(Come to the Cross,)

Mubone kunesh’ isi(See how to despise the world)

Yes’ amaz’ imyaka myinshi(Jesus has spent many years)

Ajy’ atwihanganira;(Being patient with us;)

Nimuze, dusig’ ab’ isi,(Come, let us leave the worldly ones,)

Babone kutwifuza(Let them see us desiring Him)

7.

Mwe kujya muvuga Yesu,(You who keep talking about Jesus,)

Uwo mwumvany’ a bandi;(Whom you heard from others;)

Mujye mumureb’ ubwanyu,(Go and see Him yourselves,)

Ari ku Musaraba(He is on the Cross)

8.

Mwe kujya mukebaguza(You who keep wavering)

No gusubir’ inyuma(And turning back)

Mu byo mwahozemo kera,(To what you trusted in before,)

Mudahemura Yesu !(Do not insult Jesus!)
