1. Que felizes que são
Os que sentem perdão
Bem aos pés de Jesus Salvador!
Indizivel a paz
E o conforto que traz.
Ao christão no primeiro amor.

2. Que conforto era meu,
Quando Christo me deu
Seu perdão pelo sangue lustral;
Quando creu o coração,
E do dia o clarão
Me abriu a visão divinal!

3. Foi na terra um céu
O saber que eras meu:
E os anjos do throno ao redor
Só queriam cantar,
E prostrados, louvar
O Amigo do vil peccador.

4. Dia e noite cantei,
E a Christo louvei.
Oxalá fossem todos sentir
Quanto Elle me amou,-
Quanto Christo penou
Para este rebelde remir.

5. Em que altura pairei,
Nas azas da fé,
E no gozo da alvura dos céus!
N'extasis triumphal
Do amor divinal,
Como cheio da gloria de Deus
