Bendita casa do te han recibido

Representative Text

1 ¡Bendita casa, do te han recibido,
Jesús, del alma amigo y Salvador;
Do huésped moras siempre muy querido,
Y de las almas eres el Señor!

2 ¡Bendita casa, do mujer y esposo
Estrechan en tu amor su dulce unión,
Acordes en espíritu piadoso,
Gozándose en la misma salvación!

3 Los dos a Ti tan sólo pertenecen,
En dura suerte y en felicidad;
Día por día en tu enseñanza crecen,
Fieles a tu cariño y tu amistad.

4 ¡Bendito casa, do los pequeñuelos
Son puestos sobre tu fiel corazón,
Amigo de los niños en los cielos,
Que les despensas tierna protección!
