314. Cristo, guárdanos ahora

1 Cristo, guárdanos ahora
Con tu santa protección;
Nuestras faltas confesamos:
Te pedimos el perdón.

2 Si aguerridas nos atacan
Las legiones de Satán,
Cerca están tus mensajeros,
Que socorro nos darán.

3 Aun el tiempo más oscuro
clara luz es para Ti;
Tú, Señor, jamás te cansas
De cuidar tu pueblo aquí.

4 Si la muerte nos sorprende
Esta noche, buen Señor,
Haz que el alba nos encuentre
En el seno de tu amor.

Amén.
