Cristo, nuestro Jefe

Representative Text

1 Cristo, nuestro Jefe, nos lleva a la lid;
nunca termeremos si él nos dice, "Id".
Aún su justa causa se suele ignorar,
mas le seguiremos fiel.

Coro:
Adelante es la orden del Señor;
adelante vamos sin temor.
"Adelante" canta ya su grey;
la victoria es cierta con el Rey.

2 Nuestro estandarte luce por doquier,
con poder y gloria siempre se ha de ver.
Cristo nuestro Jefe al mundo ya venció
y le seguiremos fiel. [Coro]

3 La furiosa lucha larga no será,
y a los vencedores nos congregará,
Donde cantaremos un himno triunfal;
sí, le seguiremos fiel. [Coro]
