Mi Jesús, mi Salvador

Representative Text

1 Mi Jesús, mi Salvador
Vivo está y es mi esperanza;
De la muerte no hay temor,
Mientras fundo mi confianza
En aquel que me salvó,
Cuando en cruz por mí murió.

2 Vida eterna Él alcanzó,
Yo también tendré la vida;
Al lugar que preparó,
Su promesa me convida;
El que es la cabeza, allá
A sus miembros llevará.

3 Yo soy suyo, bien lo sé,
Por su sangre redentora;
Doy la mano de la fe
A su mano salvadora.
¡Muerte, tú jamás, jamás
De Jesús me apartarás!

4 Cuando resucite, sé
Que me rodeará luz pura;
Con mis ojos yo veré
A mi rey en su hermosura.
Ni dolor ni enfermedad
Sufriré en la eternidad.
