1. O dia, não sei,
Do regresso do Esposo,
Mas, pelos sinais,
Já estou animoso,
Pois presto virá
Esse evento glorioso!

Ele vem!
Aleluia! Aleluia!
Sobre as nuvens virá,
Com os anjos da glória,
Mas o dia, não sei.

2. Os crentes verão,
Pela Santa Escritura,
Que não tardará
Nossa eterna ventura;
Olhemos, então,
Para a glória futura,
Mas o dia, não sei. [Estribilho]

3. Orar, vigiar,
Eis a necessidade.
Bem firmes os pés
Na bendita verdade;
Descanso haverá
Na celeste cidade,
Mas o dia, não sei. [Estribilho]
