Urukundo rwa Yesu
Koko rwatugezeho,
Rudukura mu kaga
Ko gukund’ iby’ iyi si
Yes’ arakiza: ( X 3)
Ni we wankijije
(The love of Jesus)
(Indeed has reached us,)
(It rescues us from danger)
(Of loving worldly things)
(Jesus saves: (X 3))
(He is the one who saved me)
Mwemeye kw abakiza,
Mukabambanwa na We
Yes’ azabajyan’ i We,
Mu bgiza budashira
(Believe in the saved ones,)
(Being crucified with Him)
(Jesus will take you to Him,)
(In glory that will not end)
Abahaw’ Umwuka we,
Mugahinduka bashya,
Mujye mumunambaho,
Muzageze ku gupfa
(Those who receive His Spirit,)
(You will be transformed anew,)
(Keep walking in Him,)
(You will reach death)
Ariko mbaburire,
Abajya bigumanya,
Mbese, muzageza he
Kutagir’ ibyishimo?
(But I tell you,)
(Those who keep refusing,)
(Truly, where will you reach)
(Without any joy?)
Reka kwihakirizwa:
Abo si bo bakiza !
Kandi ntibakwandika
Mu Gitabo cya Yesu !
(Stop deceiving yourselves:)
(Those are not the saved ones!)
(And they will not write you)
(In the Book of Jesus!)
Kwihana s’ ubuhanga
Cyangwa guca mu bgenge,
Keretse kwanamiza
Yuk’ ur’ umunyabyaha
(Sacrificing is not skill)
(Or falling into error,)
(Except to acknowledge)
(That you are a sinner)
Abakunda kwihana,
Mukareba Siyoni
Yo mw ijuru ry’Imana,
Mujye muhishimira !
(Those who love to sacrifice,)
(Look at Zion)
(That is in God's heaven,)
(Go and rejoice!)
