Testemunho Íntimo

Representative Text

1. Mysterioso e grande Deus,
Por cujo amor os passos meus
Guiados sempre são,
Minha alma intima, expõe;
Se meus peccados se perdoem,
Me dize ao coração.

2. Se só Te soube eu temer,
E bem sincero obedecer
A quem não conheci:
Agora mesmo a graça dá—
Certeza, firme desde já,
Que perdoaste-me.

3. O Teu Amor! nem menos dês—
A prova que a malvadez
De mim se já lavou.
Não quero a alma illudir,
Vivendo sem o perdão sentir,
Perdão de quem me amou.

4. Estando a Testemunha em mim,
Não testificaria de Ti
A reconciliação?
Não vinha eu com viva fé,
Chamando-Te, "Meu Pae," até?
Clamava eu em vão?

5. Meu Pae, Te faze conhecer!
A alma intima faze ver
Tua grande compaixão!
Revela o infinito amor!
Não saia o Grão Consolador
Jámais do coração.
