Representative Text

1 Unidos en espíritu
Al coro celestial,
Cantemos con los ángeles
Un cántico triunfal;
Y si vertimos lágrimas
Al frente de la cruz,
Rebose hoy el júbilo
Pues vive el buen Jesús.

2 Lo que en el triste Gólgota
Derrota pareció,
En el sellado túmulo
En triunfo se cambió;
Vencido está el báratro,
Menguado su poder;
Nunca el mortal su súbdito
De hoy más habrá de ser.

3 Del Moria allá en la cúspide
Se obró la salvación,
Allí se ostenta el lábaro
De nuestra redención;
Y sueltos ya los vínculos
De la mortalidad,
La tumba abierta es símbolo
De nuestra libertad.

4 Jesús, de gloria príncipe,
Autor de nuestra paz,
Dirígenos benévola
Tu esplendorosa faz;
Y acepta el dulce cántico
De nuestra gratitud
Por tu valioso dádiva
De la eternal salud.
