1 Rey de mi vida tú eres ya:
gloria te doy, Jesús;
No me permitas olvidar
tu obra en la cruenta cruz.

Coro:
Si olvido del Getsemaní,
tu sufrimiento agudo allí,
Y tu divino amor por mí,
Cristo, hazme ver tu cruz.

2 Por fe la tumba puedo ver
que ya vacía está;
Ángeles santos de poder
fueron tu guardia allá. [Coro]

3 Yo, cual María, quien su amor
te demostró, Jesús,
Quiero servirte fiel, Señor,
al recordar tu cruz. [Coro]

4 Hazme dispuesto a llevar
la dura cruz por ti;
Con gozo sufriré, Señor;
fuiste a la cruz por mí. [Coro]
