Lyrics

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
Himbisa Mukama, iwe magara gangye
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
Praise the Lord, O you my life

1. Ekigambo kyawe Mukama kirangirirwe
Kirangaanwe buzima, ahantu hoona

May your word, O Lord, be proclaimed
May it be proclaimed always, in every place
2. Omutima gwangye Mukama gub'obutaaho bwaawe
Nkwehimbisizemu, Nyakundokora

May my heart, O Lord, become your dwelling place
In it I praise you, O my Redeemer
3. Ekigambo kyaawe kinuzire, kiine omuranzi
Kyehimbisiza weena okishemererwa

Your word is sweet; it has a herald / proclaimer
Whoever praises it through it will rejoice
4. Tukwevugire twemurikye tukuhimbise
Karamaare singa omunsi n'omwiguru

Let us call upon you, lift ourselves up, and praise you
Forever, on earth and in heaven
5. Tumuhimbise Alleluia, Alleluia
Himbisa Mukama, iwe magara gangye
Let us praise Him, Alleluia, Alleluia
Praise the Lord, O you my life
