1 A Jesús pertenecemos;
Nos debemos alegrar,
Que el buen Dios de cielo y tierra
No formó y nos ha de guiar.

2 A Jesús pertenecemos;
Por nosotros él murió;
Con el precio de su sangre
De la muerte nos libró.

3 A Jesús pertenecemos,
Y confiamos sólo en Él;
Pues su Espíritu nos lleva
Por su senda, siempre fiel.

4 A Jesús pertenecemos,
Redimidos por su amor;
Y a Dios trino y uno damos
Alabanza, prez y honor.
