Representative Text

1 Voy al cielo, soy peregrino,
A vivir eternamente con Jesús;
El me abrió ya verás camino
Al expirar por nosotros en la cruz.

Refrain:
Voy al cielo, soy peregrino,
A vivir eternamente con Jesús.

2 Duelo, muerte, amarga pena,
Nunca, nunca habremos de sufrir allá;
Gloriosa vida de gozo llena,
El alma mía sin fin disfrutara. [Refrain]

3 Patria santa, hermosa y pura;
Entrare a ti, salvado por Jesús;
Y gozare siempre la ventura
Con el viviendo en refulgente luz. [Refrain]
