Con las nubes viene Cristo

Representative Text

1 Con las nubes viene Cristo,
el que en la cruz murió;
Santos miles le alaban,
quien la muerte conquistó.
¡Aleluya! ¡Aleluya!
Sobre todo ya triunfó.

2 Todos le verán, glorioso,
ataviado en majestad,
Y los que le rechazaron
en su incredulidad
Con gran llanto, con gran llanto
al Mesías mirarán.

3 En su cuerpo ya glorioso
las heridas llevará,
Que su excelso sacrificio
en la cruz recordarán,
Y con gozo, y con gozo
su Iglesia las verá.

4 Toda la creación se postre
a tus pies para adorer;
De poder, domino y gloria,
Cristo, eres digno ya.
¡Aleluya! ¡Aleluya!
¡Oh, ven pronto a reinar!
