1 Abba Padre! Te adoramos
en el nombre de Jesús;
Dios y Padre Te llamamos,
hechos hijos de la luz.
Ya del juicio libertados,
por la muerte del Señor;
Y por Él reconciliados,
disfrutamos de Tu amor.

2 Pródigos un tiempo fuimos,
y alejados del hogar;
Mas Tu voz de amor oímos,
pues quisístenos llamar;
Por Jesús nos perdonaste
y nos allegaste a Ti,
Nos besaste y nos sentaste,
en Tu comunión aquí.

3 Por Tu mano revestidos
del ropaje de salud;
En Tu casa recogidos,
por Tu gran solicitud;
Redimidos y lavados,
por la sangre de Jesús,
Restaurados, bien amados,
somos hijos de la luz.

4 ¡Abba! todos Te alabamos,
muy contentos de saber
Que los bienes que gozamos,
nos revelan Tu querer.
Que Tú encuentras complacencia
en mostrarnos Tu favor,
Y por tal benevolencia,
Te adoramos con fervor.
