Har' Umukunzi w' abana
Mw ijuru k' Uhoraho,
Abakund’urukundo
Rut agir' iherezo,
Abadukunda mw isi
Boduharuruka:
Yesu we n' Umukunzi
Atoduhemukira.

Harih' uburuhukiro
Mw ijuru k' Uhoraho,
Bg' abana bamukunda
Bambaz' izina ryiwe,
Ah' abagenzi bato
Bahora bataha,
Ni ho baruhukira

Bazoshika mûri rwo:
N' urugo rwiza cane,
Rw' amahoro masa,

Har' ibitsibo mw ijuru
Vy' abana bakijijwe,

Ku musi bamwizeye;
Abamukunda bose,
Bakamushimisha,
Bazogererwa na we
Inger' itazoshira.

Harih' indirimbo nziza
Y' abana bakijijwe;
Bazama baririmba
Ni bashika mw ijuru,
Ishim" Umwami Yesu
Ko yabacunguye:
Kand' abayiririmba
Ntibazocobogora.

Har' impuzu zera kandi
Z' abana bakijijwe,
N' indirimbo z' ishimwe,
N' inanga z' izahabu;
Abakunz' Umukiza
Ni bo babihabga:
Ni muze bana mwese,
Muvyakiran' ishimwe.
