Ven a cantarle a Jesús

Representative Text

1 Ven a cantarle a Jesús
que ya llegó nochebuena,
ven a postrarte a sus pies
para ofrecerle tus penas.
Mira que llora también
y la Virgen lo consuela;
mira que llora también
y la Virgen lo consuela.

Estribillo:
Cántale un alegre son,
cántale un junco guajira
ponle a tu canto calor
porque de frío delira.
Dile que vuelva la paz
a nuestra tierra tan bella;
dile que vuelva a brillar
en nuestros cielos estrellas.

2 Acuérdate del palmar
donde se mece la brisa,
y de nuestra Navidad
hecha de azúcar y risa.
Recuerda el ritmo del mar
y los anchos del camino,
y vengan todos a ver
al niñito que ha nacido. [Estribillo]

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
