Mwami, wakomeretse:
Ni twe waziraga !
wahemuw’ utyo, Mwami,
Ushinyagurirwa
Ker’ utaraza mw isi,
War’ ufit’ ubwiza !
Dor’ uko bagushyize
Mur’ abo bambuzi
(Lord, you suffered:)
(It was us you died for!)
(You were humiliated like this, Lord,)
(You were disgraced)
(Before you came to earth,)
(You had beauty!)
(Behold how they put you)
(Among those thieves)
Mpindukirir’ undebe,
Mukiza w’ ukuri:
N’ impano y’ imbabazi
Njya nkuboneramo
Yesu, waramfiriye:
N’ ibyanjye wazize;
Ump’ amahoro masa
Kuko nkwiringira
(I turn to you and look,)
(Savior of truth:)
(The gift of mercy)
(I always find in you)
(Jesus, you died for me:)
(You even died for mine;)
(You give me great peace)
(Because I trust in you)
Kand’ imipfire yawe
Ni yo yankijije
Intera kugushima
Mu kubaho kose:
Imbabazi n’ izawe,
Mucunguzi wanjye
Nah’ urupfu rwantera,
Nta cyakunkuramo
(And your wounds)
(Are what saved me)
(I will continue to praise you)
(In all of life:)
(Your mercy and love,)
(My Redeemer)
(Even death will come to me,)
(Nothing can take it from me)
No mw ipfa ryanjye, Yesu,
Uzambe bugufi:
Urupfu ni runsinda
Uzamar’ ubwoba
Kokw umubiri wanjye
Uzabor’ uveho;
Nyamara, rizakubona
Mu maso, Mukiza
(Even in my death, Jesus,)
(Be near me:)
(Death is terrible for me)
(You will end the fear)
(Because my body)
(Will decay and perish;)
(But, it will see you)
(In the eyes, Savior)
Mukiza wanjye mfite
Ubwuzu n’ ishimwe,
Ngo ndeb’ inkovu zawe
Wagize kubganjye!
Umpe kunesha rero,
Nkuko wanesheje
Hahirw’ uzapfa apfira
Muri wowe, Yesu !
(My Savior I have)
(Joy and praise,)
(That I may see your scars)
(You had for me!)
(Give me cleansing then,)
(As you cleansed)
(Blessed is one who dies dying)
(In you, Jesus!)
