Representative Text

1 Un amigo hay más que hermano:
Cristo el Señor;
Él llevó en su cuerpo humnao
Nuestro dolor.
Este amigo moribundo,
Padeciendo por el mundo,
Demostró su amor profundo:
¡Dadle loor!

2 Vino a darnos vida eterna
Cristo el Señor;
Todo aquel que quiera, venga
Al Redentor;
En nosotros Él derrama
Gracia santa, pues nos ama,
Y a su lado a todos llama:
¡Dadle loor!

3 Hoy, ayer y por los siglos
Cristo el Señor
Es el mismo fiel amigo:
Ven, pecador.
Es maná en el desierto,
Nuestro guía, nuestro puerto;
Es su amor profundo y cierto:
¡Dadle loor!
