Gushimisha · 5 verses
Nimuze, mwa ndushyi mwe mwese,
Muremerewe, murembye
Yes’ aje kubasanganira
N’ ubuntu bge n’ urukundo
Mwese, nimuze ! Muze, mwese !
Mumwitab’ arabifuza !
(Come, you thirsty ones all,)
(Heavy laden, exhausted)
(Jesus comes to meet you)
(With His grace and love)
(All of you, come! Come, all of you!)
(Trust in Him, He desires it!)
Nubg’ ur’ umunyabyaha byinshi,
Humura ye ! N’ uw’ ibambe !
Iby’ agushakaho ni bike:
N’ ukwihan’ ukamwizera
Wa munyabyaha we wihebye,
arakogesh’ amaraso
(Even if you are a great sinner,)
(Cheer up! Even the suffering one!)
(What He requires of you is little:)
(Just to humble yourself and believe Him)
(That great sinner He humbled,)
(He washed with blood)
Umwana wera w’ Uwiteka
Yubamiy’ i Getsemane,
Baramubamb’ ari tw’ azira;
Nukw ati: Birarangiye !
Utegerej’ iki se, kandi ?
Ibyo ko biguhagije !
(The pure Son of the Lord)
(Suffered in Gethsemane,)
(They pierced Him as if He would die;)
(Then He said: It is finished!)
(What more are you waiting for?)
(That is enough for you!)
Dore, yazamutse mw ijuru,
Atsinz’ urupfu n’ ibyaha !
Aratuvugira kuri Se,
Agaragaz’ amaraso
Na S’ akareb’ izo nkovu ze,
Nihanny’ akambabarira
(Behold, He ascended to heaven,)
(Having conquered death and sins!)
(He intercedes for us to the Father,)
(Showing His blood)
(And the Father looks at those wounds of His,)
(And immediately He has mercy)
Nukw abakijijwe na Yesu
Tuzamusanganirayo !
Abo mw isi n’ abo mw ijuru
Ni ko kuririmba, tuti:
Turagushimye ! Haleluya !
Ur’ Umukiza n’ Umwami !
(Therefore those saved by Jesus)
(We will meet Him there!)
(Those on earth and those in heaven)
(Will be singing, saying:)
(We thank You! Hallelujah!)
(You are the Savior and King!)
