1 Yo traigo mi pecado
A Cristo el Salvador,
Cordero inmaculado
De Dios, mi rey de amor.
De mi maldad el peso
Acepta el Salvador:
De culpa libre, ileso
Me veo por su amor.

2 Mi culpa el inocente
Jesús pagó por mí,
Quitando de mi frente
La mancha carmesí;
Su sangre muy preciosa
El alma limpiará,
La cual, al fin gloriosa,
Con Cristo morará.

3 Con gran amor me invita
Al goce de quietud;
En Él de paz habita
Perfecta plenitud.
Él en mis desazones
Acude con amor,
Y con sus bendiciones
Me da consolación.

4 Con Cristo estar quisiera
Ya libre de mi mal,
Allí donde me espera
Descanso celestial,
Uniendo con los santos
Mi férvida oración,
Para entonar los cantos
De la eternal mansión.

Author: Horatius Bonar

Horatius Bonar was born at Edinburgh, in 1808. His education was obtained at the High School, and the University of his native city. He was ordained to the ministry, in 1837, and since then has been pastor at Kelso. In 1843, he joined the Free Church of Scotland. His reputation as a religious writer was first gained on the publication of the "Kelso Tracts," of which he was the author. He has also written many other prose works, some of which have had a very large circulation. Nor is he less favorably known as a religious poet and hymn-writer. The three series of "Hymns of Faith and Hope," have passed through several editions. --Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A. 1872… Go to person page >

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
