TURAKURAMYA YEZU, URI UMUREMYI,
URI HANO RWOSE, URI MUZIMA,
UBURYO UDUKUNDA NTAKO BUNGANA,
UDUHAZA TWESE MU UKARISTIYA.

Mu Ukaristiya yawe ntawe ukorora,

Turemera yuko urimo rwose;
Mwimanyi, ni wowe wabitubwiye,
Ntawubasha guhinyura ibyo wavuze.

Ubwo witangaga kera ku musaraba,

Wakijije umwangizi uguhatsweho;
Ndagusabye Yezu, unkize nka we,
Nange ibyaha byanjye bikurakaza.

Sinshidikanya Yezu nk’Intumwa yawe,

Ndakwemera rwose, uri Rurema,
Untabare Yezu, noye kwangiza,
Unkomeze cyane sinshidikanye.

Ukaristiya yawe itubeshaho,

Itwibutsa ugupfa k’Umucunguzi;
Ni ifunguro ryacu ry’iminsi yose
Ni yo itunga roho z’abagukunda.

Yezu, Nyir’ubuntu, umbabarire,

Weze roho yanjye unkize ibyaha,
Unyiteho rwose, ntumpararukwe,
Njye ntsinda shitani intera iteka.

Amasengesho yanjye uyumve, Yezu,

Umpe kugukunda no kukubaha;
Nuko nzaze iwawe mu bwami bwawe,
Ni ho nzanezerwa, ni ho nifuza.
AMEN
