Representative Text

1 Jesus! Que rico Nome
Pra quem por fé conheça
O santo amor do Salvador
Que a Tua morte expressa!
E nós agradecemos,
Em doce paz e calma,
A salvação que é fruição
Das dores da Tua alma.

2 Jesus! Que rico Nome!
Pois diz-nos sempre que amas
Teu povo aqui, unido a Ti,
E em seu redor derramas
O gozo dessa graça
Que fruem Teus remidos,
Os quais Te dão, com afeição,
Louvores merecidos.

3 Jesus! Que rico Nome,
Que aqui nos tem mostrado
Verdade e amor do Criador
Em nosso humilde estado!
Do Pai foste enviado,
Seu grande amor mostraste;
A graça aqui, a glória ali,
Morrendo, sustentaste.
