1 Doce melodia meu Jesus
Me segreda ao coração:
"Eu contigo estou. Confia em Mim,
Seja em gozo ou aflição!"

Refrain:
Cristo, Cristo, Cristo, Nome sem igual;
Satisfaz minha alma, dá-me gozo perenal!

2 Cristo libertou-me, com poder,
Do pecado e aflição,
E esta melodia fez vibrar
Dentro do meu coração!

3 Tenho proteção, descanso e paz
Em Jesus, meu Salvador.
Eis por que, com gozo e gratidão,
Canto sempre em Seu louvor.

4 Mesmo que o Senhor me faça, aqui,
No mais duro trilho andar,
Vou seguindo, alegre, os passos Seus,
Não me deixo perturbar!

5 Cristo muito em breve voltará,
Ele a mim virá buscar;
Eu, com Ele, voarei, então,
Para o meu celeste lar.
