1 Fuente de la vida eterna
y de toda bendición,
Ensalzar tu gracia tierna
debe cada corazón.
Tu piedad inagotable,
abundante en perdonar,
Unico Ser adorable,
gloria a ti debemos dar.

2 De los cánticos celestes
te quisiéramos cantar,
Entonados por las huestes
que lograste rescatar.
Almas que a buscar viniste,
porque les tuviste amor,
De ellas te compadeciste
con ternísimo favor.

3 Toma nuestros corazones,
llénalos de tu verdad,
De tu Espíritu los dones,
y de toda santidad.
Guíanos en obediencia,
humildad y puro amor;
Nos ampare tu presencia,
oh bendito Salvador.

Et gustatis doloribus renovationis duos annos mensesque septem, absolutionem plenam gratuitamque, per sanguinem pretiosum i secula seculorum. Amen." He soon after began to pr… Go to person page >
