1. Louvamos-Te, ó Deus,
Pelo dom de Jesus,
Que por nós, pecadores,
Foi morto na cruz.

Estribilho:
Aleluia, toda a glória
Te rendemos, sem-fim;
Aleluia, Tua graça
Imploramos. Amém!

2. Louvamos-Te, ó Deus,
Pelo Espírito, luz
Que nos tira das trevas
E a Cristo conduz. [Estribilho]

3. Ó, vem-nos encher
De celeste fervor,
E fazer-nos fruir
Teu afável amor! [Estribilho]
