Al Salvador Jesús

Representative Text

1 Al Salvador Jesús
canciones por doquier
con gratitud y puro amor
entone todo ser.
A quien nos redimió
en santa caridad,
cristianos todos, con ardor
su nombre celebrad.

2 A Cristo el Salvador,
Rey de la eternidad,
tributa cantos de loor
el coro celestial.
Con ellos a una voz,
con júbilo sin par,
las glorias de su inmenso amor,
cristianos entonad.

3 Las glorias declarad
del Príncipe de Paz;
es su justicia salvación
y su poder bondad.
Es digno sólo Él
De gloria sin igual,
Pues con su sangre nos abrió
el reino celestial.

4 Rey de la vida es Él,
del mundo el vencedor,
quien a la muerte despojó
de todo su terror.
En el poder vivid
de su resurrección;
glorioso el día llegará
de plena redención.
