Es de Dios la santa gracia

Representative Text

1 Es de Dios la santa gracia
Cual del mar la inmensidad,
Hay amor en su justicia,
Muestra en todo su bondad.

2 A quien vive en le pacado
Lo recibe con amor,
Y hay favor en abundancia
A quien sirve al Salvador.

3 Y jamás de Dios la gracia
Mente humana medirá,
Porque al Padre bondadoso
Nunca el hombre igualará.

4 Si con fe sencilla el alma
Recibiera al Salvador,
Nuestra vida correría
Dulcemento cual su amor.
