Representative Text

1 Jesus, que veio lá do céu,
Pra nos salvar aqui morreu;
Podemos no Seu Livro ver
Quão bom mostrou-se o Cristo ser.

2 Aos fracos compaixão mostrou
E as suas aflições tirou;
Aos cegos vista concedeu
E mesmo aos mortos vida deu.

3 Ainda mais: quis revelar
As glórias do Seu santo lar
E de Seu Pai mostrar o amor
Que tinha pelo pecador.

4 Porém, os homens, com desdém,
Pagaram com o mal o bem;
E ainda, com clamor hostil,
Lhe deram uma morte vil.

5 Sabendo todo o nosso mal
E a nossa perdição total,
Jesus, levado pelo amor,
Morreu em vez do pecador.

6 Mas vivo está, nem pode ter
Sobre Ele a morte algum poder;
No brilho da celeste luz
Habita o Salvador Jesus.
