Representative Text

1. Cantai alegremente,
Cantai a Deus louvor;
Trazei a Ele um canto
De júbilo e de amor.
É Deus quem faz a terra
Seus frutos produzir,
E as estações do ano,
Em ordem, prosseguir.

2. É Deus que envia as chuvas,
E os montes faz florir;
E os vales, exultantes,
De trigo faz cobrir.
Deus tudo multiplica
Em Sua compaixão,
E o ano de fartura
Coroa a Sua mão.

3. Trazei aos Seus altares
Dos frutos que Ele deu,
E as almas da colheita,
Por quem também morreu.
Prostrai-vos diante dEle
Humildes, com louvor,
E mais, em vossas vidas,
Dai graças ao Senhor!
