160. Cuánta dicha la del hombre

1 ¡Cuánta dicha la del hombre
Perdonado por Jesús,
Que por fe lavó su alma
En la sangre de la cruz,
El que es bienaventurado,
Al que Dios no contará
Ni el engaño ni el pecado,
Mas su gracia le dará!

2 Triste, envuelto en el silencio
Mis pecados escondi;
¡Qué pesares de conciencia,
Qué miserias padecí!
Mas, por fin desesperado,
Descubríle mi aflicción;
Mis pecados confesando,
En Jesús busqué perdón.

3 El oyendo mis clamores,
Mis pecados perdonó,
Y de todas mis angustias
Compasivo me libró.
¡Gloria a Ti, Señor eterno,
Adorable Salvador!
¡Gloria a Ti por las edades,
Dios de vida, Dios de amor!

Amén.
