346. Jerusalén la excelsa

1 Jerusalén la excelsa,
Gloriámonos en ti,
Perpetuo, caro ensueño
De tu fiel grey aquí,
La grey que ya tus glorias
En lontananza ve,
Y al verlas, sus afanes
Redobla por la fe.

2 Jesús te es sol y lumbre:
Tribútale loor
La santa muchedumbre
Al rey y Redentor,
¡Qué gozo me es, tranquila,
Eterna habitación,
Saber que en ti termina
Mi peregrinación!

3 Mi dulce patria amada,
Mi gozo tú serás,
Morada deseada,
Descanso me darás.
¡Oh tú!, que ahora gimes
Y en polvo siempre vas:
Las glorias más sublimes
Con Cristo gozarás.
