161. Dejo el mundo y sigo a Cristo

1 Dejo el mundo y sigo a Cristo
Porque el mundo pasará,
Mas su amor, amor bendito,
Por los siglos durará.

2 Dejo el mundo y sigo a Cristo:
Paz y gozo en Él tendré,
Y al saber que va conmigo
Sus bondades cantaré.

3 Dejo el mundo y sigo a Cristo:
Su sonrisa quiero ver
Como luz que mi camino
Haga aquí resplandecer.

4 Dejo el mundo y sigo a Cristo
Acogiéndome a su cruz;
Y después espero verle
Cara a cara en plena luz.
