Dame, Te Ruego

Representative Text

1 Dame, te ruego, Señor un corazón
Limpio, lavado en tu sangre sin par,
Libre de toda pasión mundanal,
Cual sólo tú, ¡oh!, Jesús, puedes dar.

2 Un corazón limpio de mal,
Lleno de amor, ¡quién me lo puede dar?
Sólo Jesús, quien por mi mal,

Siempre tranquilo, confiado en tu amor,
Listo a seguir en tus pasos, doquier
Quieras enviarme, divino Señor.

4 Dame te ruego, Señor, un corazón
Lleno de santo, divino poder;
Lleno de Fuego, potente, eficaz,
Lleno de fe y podré así vencer.

Dame te ruego, Señor, un corazón
Apto a crecer en la gracia y el bien,
Para que así como tú pueda ser,
Hasta que llegue a gozar en tu Edén.
