Tune:NÄR JULDAGSMORGON GLIMMAR

349. Al apuntar el alba

1 Al apuntar el alba
De aquesta Navidad,
Acudo a tu pesebre,
Jesús, para adorar;
Acudo a tu pesebre,
Jesús, para adorar.

2 Del cielo descendiste,
Amante Salvador;
Me libras del pecado,
Me guardas en tu amor;
Me libras del pecado,
Me guardas en tu amor.

3 Amigo de los niños,
Te necesito yo;
Jamás te haré yo triste
Con obras ni con voz;
Jamás te haré yo triste
Con obras ni con voz.
