1 Al Rey adorad, grandioso Señor,
y con gratitud cantad de su amor.
Anciano de días, el gran Defensor,
de gloria vestido, le damos loor.

2 Decid de su amor, su gracia cantad;
vestido de luz y de majestad.
Su carro de fuego en las nubes mirad;
son negras sus huellas en la tempestad.

3 ¿Quién puede tu providencia contar?
pues tu aire me das para respirar.
En valles y en montes alumbra tu luz,
y con gran dulzura me cuida Jesús.

4 Muy frágiles son los hombres aquí,
mas por tu bondad confiamos en ti.
Tu misericordia ¡cuán firme! ¡cuán fiel!
Creador, Salvador y Amigo es él.
