Noite De Paz

Representative Text

1 Tudo é paz! Tudo amor!
Dormem todos em redor;
Em Belém Jesus nasceu,
Rei de paz, da terra e céu;
Nosso Salvador é Jesus, Senhor.

2 Glória a Deus! Glória a Deus!
Cantam anjos lá nos céus;
Boas novas de perdão,
Graça excelsa, salvação;
Prova deste amor dá o Redentor.

3 Rei da Paz, Rei de Amor,
Deste mundo Criador;
Vinde todos Lhe pedir
Que nos venha conduzir;
Deste mundo a luz é o Senhor Jesus.
