Gushimisha · 7 verses
Bene wacu bo mw isi(Our brothers in the world)
Mwese ni mutwiteho,(All of you, listen,)
Mwitegure kumvira(Prepare to obey)
Imigambi y’ Imana(The plans of God)
Satani yayobeje(Satan deceived)
Sogokuruza wacu,(Our forefather,)
Amuteg’ ikigoyi,(He set a trap for him,)
Maz’ amuta mu rwobo(And led him into the pit)
Nuko, natw’ abana be(So, we his children)
Tumukurikir’ ubgo,(Followed him in that way,)
Twibagirw’ Uwiteka,(We forgot the Lord,)
Tugwa mu minyururu(We fell into chains)
Umv’ ubuntu bg’ Imana,(Hear the mercy of God,)
Ko butangaza cyane !(How amazing it is!)
Nawe, wabgiyumvira,(Even you, if you hear it,)
Warek’ iby’ ugundira(You will leave what you covet)
Ntangazwa n’ Uwiteka:(Be amazed at the Lord:)
Yambuy’ uw Mwana we(He sent His Son)
Bga bgiza bukomeye,(With mighty kingdom,)
Ngw az’ apfir’ abagome(That He might die for the wicked)
Yemeye guhemurwa,(He agreed to be humbled,)
Nta n’ icyaha yakoze,(Though He committed no sin,)
Yicw’ urupfu rubi pe,(He died a terrible death,)
Atubohor’ ibyaha(To free us from sins)
None, banyabyaha mwe,(Now, you sinners,)
Bakene na bakire,(Poor and rich,)
Uko muri, mwitabe,(As you are, receive Him,)
Mwakir’ Umucunguzi!(Accept the Savior!)
