Representative Text

1. Olha a Jesus, sem mancha, inocente;
Sua vida santa, outorga-me, ó Pai!
E minha vida manchada e feia,

Na santa Fonte que não se esvai,
Vida mui plena terei, ó Pai;
E minha vida manchada e feia,
Lava na Fonte que não se esvai.

2. Sua morte expia meu vil pecado,
E me declara justo, também!
No Seu poder, sou santificado,
Hei de ter glória no mundo, além. [Estribilho]

3. O Mestre amado, ressuscitado,
Desceu à Terra p’ra nos salvar;
Por Sua graça e amor precioso,
Ao Céu de glória nos levará. [Estribilho]
