(Jesus has loved me)

1.

Yesũ nũmbendaa, Yesũ mũnene!

Yesũ nũmbendaa na nĩnĩmwendaa mũno;

Nĩwookie kũũ kwovosya andũ,

Kũmantha na kũmatangĩĩa vyũ.

 

Chorus:

Yesũ nakathwe, Yesũ mũnene,

Yesũ nakathwe yu tene na tene;

Yesũ nakathwe, Yesũ mũnene!

Yesũ nakathwe na kanyw’a na ngoo.

 

2.

Yesũ ambona, Yesũ mũtheu!

Na akw’a mũtĩnĩ ũndũ wakwa.

 

3.

We nũmbonasya, Yesũ mũseo!

Nũmbonasya kana akooka ĩngĩ;

Nĩnĩtanĩte matukũ onthe,

Ũndũ wa vinya wake we kũkĩlya naĩ,

Yu Ngai e nakwa, nakwa nĩ nake;

Tũendanasya mĩthenya yonthe.

Kũmũsũng’ũkya na kũmũvĩtũkya mbee;

Kũmũatĩĩa andongoesye,

Nĩtavanasye ũvoo ũũ wake.

(Amen)
