Representative Text

1 Entre el vaivén de la ciudad,
más fuerte aún que su rumor;
en lid de raza y sociedad
tu voz oímos Salvador.

2 Doquiera exista explotación,
falte trabajo, no haya pan,
en los umbrales del terror
oh, Cristo, vemoste llorar.

3 Un vaso de agua puede ser
hoy de tu gracia la señal;
mas ya las gentes quieren ver
tu compasiva y santa faz.

4 Desciende, oh Cristo, con poder
a la sufriente humanidad;
si con amor lo hiciste ayer,
camina y vive en mi ciudad.

5 Hasta que triunfe tu amor
y el mundo pueda oír tu voz,
y de los cielos, oh Señor,
descienda la ciudad de Dios.

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
