210. En la cruz

1 Con pena amarga fuí a Jesús;
mostréle mi dolor;
Perdido, errante, vi su luz,
bendíjome en su amor.

Coro:
En la cruz, en la cruz,
do primero vi la luz,
y las manchas de mi alma yo lavé,
Fue allí por fe do vi a Jesús,
y siempre feliz con él seré.

2 Sobre una cruz, mi buen Señor
su sangre derramó
Por este pobre pecador,
a quien así salvó. [Coro]

3 Venció la muerte con poder,
y al cielo se exaltó;
Confiar en él es mi placer,
morir no temo yo. [Coro]

4 Aunque él se fue, solo, no estoy;
mandó al Consolador,
Divino Espíritu que hoy
me da perfecto amor. [Coro]
