57. A Melhor Dádiva

1. Traziam as ofertas
Aos pés do Salvador;
De todo sacrifício
Transparecia amor.
E a nem um donativo
Faltava o seu valor.
A todos aceitava Jesus, o Salvador.

Estribilho:
“Também, Senhor, eu quero
Trazer-Te indigno dom;
A Ti, a Ti eu trago
O impuro coração.”

2. Ao longe, retraído,
Está um pecador.
Ao ver os donativos,
Possui-o grande dor:
Não tem nenhuma prenda
Que dar ao Salvador!
Com olhos lacrimosos
Suplica, com fervor: [Estribilho]

“Jesus!”, suplica aflito,
“Eu sei quão mau eu sou,
Mas toma a pobre oferta:
Meu coração Te dou”.
Jesus responde, manso:
“A dádiva aceitei;
De todas as ofertas,
A tua Eu mais amei!” [Estribilho]
