Representative Text

1 ¡Alzaos, puretas! y entrará
el rey de gloria que vendrá.
El Rey de reyes cerca está;
a todo el mundo salvará.
Con Él traerá luz y verdad;
con júbilo canción alzad;
cantémosle loor
Al Padre, Creador.

2 ¡Es justo nuestro Auxiliador,
es su carroza puro amor:
su real corona es santidad;
su cetro, celestial piedad.
A toda angustia fin pondrá;
en cielo y tierra gozo habrá.
Cantémosle loor
al Hijo el Salvador.

3 ¡Feliz el pueblo y la ciudad
do reine el Principe de Paz!
Dichosa la nación será
Do reine el príncipe de paz.
¡Bendito el corazón y hogar
en que este Rey consiga entrar!
Es sol de esplendorosa luz,
que alumbra al mundo y trae salud:
cantémosle loor
al fiel Consolador.
