Uri uwigitangaza
Ninde uyu munya mibabaro(Who is this man of sorrows)
Usa n′ uwamenyeye intimba(Who seems to have known grief)
Nta gikundiro afite(He has no beauty that draws us)
Abantu bamwima amaso(People hide their eyes from Him)
Ni jye Jambo wahozeho(I am the Word that has always existed)
Nyir' imbaraga zo gukiza(The owner of the power to save)
Ntare mu muryango wa Yuda(The Lion of the tribe of Judah)
Mutabazi w′isi yose(Savior of the whole world)
Icyo nagambiriye(What I have purposed)
Ni umunsi wo guhoreraho inzigo(Is a day of settling accounts)
None n' umwaka wo gu(And also this very year)
Ncungura abantu banjye uratashye(Let me redeem my people, come home)
Uri uw'igitangaza Yesu(You are wonderful, Jesus)
Abo mu ijuru barabihamya bati(Those in heaven testify saying)
Ikuzo n′ishimwe(Glory and praise)
Ni iby′ umwana w'intama(Belong to the Lamb)
Kuko ariwe washoboye(Because He is the one who was able)
Gucungurira Imana Data wa twese(To redeem us for God our Father)
Abo mu miryango(Those from every tribe)
N′ indimi zose zo mu isi(And every language on earth)
Yiremeye ubwoko bumwe(He chose for Himself one people)
Ishyanga yiguriye amaraso ye(A nation He purchased with His blood)
Ubwoko bw'abami(A royal people)
N′ abatambyi b' ihoraho(And priests forever)
Malayika arabaza ati(An angel asks saying)
Ninde wabumbura iki gitabo(Who will unseal this book)
Yesu umwana w′ Imana(Jesus the Son of God)
Aritanga arakibumbura(Gives Himself and opens it)
Mu ijuru babibonye(In heaven they witnessed this)
Batangazwa nubwo bwitange(They were amazed by His self-giving)
Baherako bafata(They then took up)
Inanga zabo bararirimba(Their harps and sang)
Bati icyubahiro n'ubutware(Saying glory and dominion)
Imbaraga no guhimbazwa(Power and praise)
Ni iby'iyicaye ku ntebe(Belong to the one seated on the throne)
Ni iby′ umwana wayo iteka(And to His Son forever)
Ageze i Gologotha(He arrived at Golgotha)
Ahahuriza amahanga yose(Where all nations converge)
Abagombaga gupfa(Those who were destined to die)
Atugabira ubugingo(He gives us life)
Yihanganiye isoni(He endured shame)
N'ububabare bwo ku musaraba(And the suffering of the cross)
Kugira ngo njye nawe(So that you and I)
Twiyunge n' Iyaturemye(May reconcile with our Creator)
Twahawe umudendezo(We were given freedom)
Ubwo yatubohoraga ngoyi(When He broke our chains)
Tuzahora twamamaza(We will forever proclaim)
Iyo mirimo itangaje(Those wonderful works)
