1. Hwaro hwakasimba, imi Vatendi vaShe,
Hwaisirwa ruvimbo rwenyu mushoko rake!
Chii chimwe chingarehwa kupinda izvi,
Kune Muponesi wenyu, kune Muponesi wenyu,
Kune Muponesi wenyu kwamunopotera?
2. Muzvese mukurwara nemuhutano,
Muhurombo mose kana muhupfumi,
Kumusha, kunyika kure kana mugungwa
Sekuda kwamazuva enyu, sekuda kwamazuva enyu,
Nekuda kwamazuva enyu, yamuro mopihwa.
3. Musatye ndinemi; regai kunetseka,
Ndiri Mwari wenyu ndichakuyamurai.
Ndichakusimbisai, ndigokutsigirai,
Neruoko rutsvene, neruoko rutsvene,
Neruoko rutsvene, rwangu runesimba.
4. Ndokudanai nemumvura dzakadzika,
Nzizi dzerusuwo hadzizokuyeredzei,
Nokuti ndichava nemi, mukuedza kwenyu,
Uye ndokucheneserai, uye ndokucheneserai,
Uye ndokucheneserai matambudzo.
5. Kana nzira dzopinda nemumoto wenhamo,
Vimbai nerubatsiro rwangu rusingaperi.
Moto haukurwadzei, ndakauitira
Kupisa uyipi hwenyu, Kupisa uyipi hwenyu,
Kupisa uyipi kunatsa zvakanaka.
6. Nyange kumagumo vanhu vacharatidza
Rudo rwangu rukuru, rusingaperi;
Nyange bvudzi ravo rachena nekuchembera,
Vachamuka sehwayana, Vachamuka sehwayana,
Vachamuka vogara muchipfuva changu.
7. Mweya wazembera pana Jesu kuzorora
Handizo, handinga, usiire kumhandu;
Nyange gehena rikaedza kuzunguza,
Handimbousiya wega, Handimbousiya wega,
Handimbousiya ndichautsigira!
