Representative Text

1. Na cruz morri por ti,
Por ti, ó pecador!
Meu sangue ali verti,
Provando amarga dor.
Na cruz a Minha vida pus,
Do Céu, por isso, vim;
Das trevas te chamei à luz.
Que fazes tu por Mim?

2. Em vão Eu não deixei
O trono lá na luz;
Em vão não permutei
A glória pela cruz.
Por ti deixei, no Céu, Meu lar,
Fui peregrino aqui;
Não queiras, pois, te desculpar;
Que fazes tu por Mim?

3. Imensa foi a dor
Que suportei por ti;
Não pode haver maior;
A ela sucumbi.
Mas, mesmo a morte desprezei
P’ra te salvar, assim,
Da punição da eterna Lei;
Que fazes tu por Mim?
