Alegres, Adorai

Representative Text

1. Alegres, adorai

Louvor e graças daí
a quem venceu na cruz.
Em alta voz,
ao vosso Deus cantai,
ao Pai de amor louvai.

2. O vosso Redentor

que ao mundo dá perdão.
Em alta voz,

ao Pai de amor louvai.

3. Na terra ou céu além
Jesus dominará.
E a glória que ele tem
aos crentes mostrará.
Em alta voz,
ao vosso Deus cantai,
ao Pai de amor louvai.
