Ndumva k’ umutim’ ukeye:

Biranejeje rwose !

Ndakijijwe, ndakijijwe:

N’ umunezero cyane !

Ibyaha byanjye byogejwe

N’ amaraso ya Yesu;

Agahinda kamvuyemo:

Sinkir’ umunyabyago

(I feel that my heart is light:)

(It's settled completely!)

(I'm saved, I'm saved:)

(With great joy!)

(My sins were washed away)

(By the blood of Jesus;)

(Sorrow left me:)

(I'm no longer a sinner)

2.

Nishimiye, nishimiye

Ko ntegekwa na Yesu

Murokozi, Murokozi,

Nemeye kub’ uwawe

Wanyikuriye mu byaha,

Wowe, Ntwari y’ Imana;

Wandokorey’ umutima

Kand’ umpaye kubaho

(I'm happy, I'm happy)

(That I'm commanded by Jesus)

(Savior, Savior,)

(I agreed to be yours)

(You delivered me from sins,)

(You, Warrior of God;)

(You redeemed my heart)

(And gave me life)

3.

Waj’ unshakan’ urukundo,

Ubgo nari nzimiye

Wankuye mu byaha byanjye,

Unyigirir’ uwawe

Mpereye none n’ iteka,

Ni Wowe nziringira;

Kubaho kwanjye kurindwe

N’ amaboko ya Yesu

(He came seeking me with love,)

(When I was lost)

(He took me from my sins,)

(Making me compassionately his)

(I'm given now and forever,)

(It's You I trust in;)

(My life is kept)

(By the hands of Jesus)

4.

Ndakuririmbira, Mwami;

Namwe ndababwiriza

Ibyo Yesu yankoreye:

Birantangaza rwose

Kuko yemeye kumfira,

Akamber’ igitambo,

Umutima wanjye wose

N’ uw’ Uwawucunguye

(I will sing to you, Lord;)

(And you I will tell)

(What Jesus did for me:)

(It amazes me completely)

(Because he agreed to die for me,)

(And carried the burden,)

(My whole heart)

(Belongs to the One who redeemed it)
