Mostra-nos Tua compaixão:
Tira a nossa culpa e dor.
Livres de cuidado aqui,
Descansamos hoje em Ti.
Livres de cuidado aqui,
Descansamos hoje em Ti.

3. O Evangelho tem poder
Para o crente consolar,
Para o vício seu vencer,
Todo o mal abandonar;
Que nos traga, a pregação,
Gozo e paz ao coração.
Que nos traga, a pregação,
Gozo e paz ao coração.
