270. Santa Biblia

1 Santa Biblia, para mí
eres un tesoro aquí;
Tú contienes con verdad
la divina voluntad;
Tú me dices lo que soy,
de quién vine y a quién voy.

2 Tú reprendes mi dudar;
tú me exhortas sin cesar;
Eres faro que a mi pie,
va guiando por la fe
A las fuentes del amor
del bendito Salvador.

3 Eres infalible voz
del Espíritu de Dios,
Que vigor al alma da
cuando en aflicción está;
Tú me enseñas a triunfar
de la muerte y el pecar.

4 Por tu santa letra sé
que con Cristo reinaré;
Yo que tan indigno soy,
por tu luz al cielo voy;
¡Santa Biblia! para mí
eres un tesoro aquí.
