Tiernas Canciones Alzad Al Señor

Representative Text

1 Tiernas canciones alzad al Señor,
Himnos que lleven del alma la fe,
Y hablen muy alto del férvido amor
Que hay en el pecho del hombre que cree,
Vengan trayendo ferviente canción,
Niños y ancianos de Dios al altar.
Traigan a él su corazón,
Único don que podrá aceptar.

Refrain: ¡Cielo y tierra canten al Señor de las naciones!
¡Cielo y tierra canten al Señor de las naciones,
Y los hombres todos, con alegres corazones,
Sirvan al Señor, que vida y paz siempre les da!

2 El es la fuente de toda bondad,
El es la vida, la luz y el calor,
Solo el nos libra de cruel ansiedad,
Solo el aleja del alma el dolor;
Digno es por tanto que el hombre le de
Gloria y honor que resuenen doquier.
Vamos a él llenos de fe,
Nos salvara con su gran poder. [Refrain]
