Representative Text

1. Lindo és, meu Mestre,
Rei és da natura,
Ó, Homem-Deus, Senhor Jesus.
Hei de louvar-Te, hei de servir-Te.
És minha glória, minha luz.

2. Flores do campo,
Como sois tão lindas,
Embelezando prados mil.
Cristo é mais belo, Cristo é mais lindo,
É sempre meigo, bom, gentil.

3. Sol, como és lindo!
Como é linda a Lua!
Quão peregrino é seu brilhar!
Brilho mais lindo, brilho mais puro
Vem de Jesus, o Rei sem-par.
