1 Sed puros y santos, mirad al Señor;
Permaneced fieles siempre en oración;
Leed la Palabra del buen Salvador;
Socorred al débil, mostrad compasión.

2 Sed puros y santos, andad en la luz;
Orad en secreto, respuesta vendrá;
Su Espíritu Santo revela a Jesús,

3 Sed puros y santos, Jesús nos guiará;
Seguid su camino, en él confiad;
En paz o en pena, la calma dará
Quien nos ha salvado de nuestra maldad.
