Gushimisha · 4 verses
Ubgo nagendaga ndemerewe,
Sinari nz’ ubg’ icyo ntekereza
Nonubu, maze kwihitiramo
Mpisemw Umucunguzi
Tekereza nimutekereze !
Mbes’ iryo jambo muryitayeho ?
Mwibaze, muhitemo !
(Once I walked in blindness,)
(I was not like one who thinks)
(But now, having made my choice)
(I have chosen the Savior)
(Think, O think about it!)
(Will you ignore this word?)
(Ask yourselves, make your choice!)
Mbeg’ urukundo rw’ Umwami Yesu !
Aradukunda tudakwiriye
Ubu ngub’ arabahamagara:
None, nimutemo !
(What great love of the Lord Jesus!)
(He loves us though we're unworthy)
(Now He calls you:)
(Now, make your choice!)
Ntangajwe cyane n’ imbabazi ze:
Ni zo zatumy’ anyitanirira;
Kandi ngiheze mu mwijim’ ubgo,
Mvanwamo n’ umucyo we
(I am greatly amazed by His mercy:)
(It made Him give Himself for us;)
(And being now in that darkness before,)
(I have found His light there)
Emera nawe kwihitiramo !
Imur’ umwanz’ uguhemukira;
Wimik’ ahubg’ Umukiza wawe !
Nta wakez’ abo bombi
(Believe also to make your choice!)
(Take away the enemy opposing you;)
(Stand near your Savior!)
(There is no one serving both)
