Cristo Volta Brevemente!

Representative Text

1. Cristo volta brevemente,
Para neste mundo ter,
Em lugar de sofrimento,
Senhorio com poder.
Ele volta já da glória,
Brilha refulgente luz
Desse dia tão querido
Dos remidos de Jesus.

Estribilho:
Cristo volta! Cristo volta!
Para o povo Seu buscar.
Cristo volta, triunfante,
Para com poder reinar.

2. Cristo volta! Não mais lutas,
Não mais pranto, não mais dor,
Não mais sombra de pecado,
Não mais falta de amor.
Cristo volta para, à glória,
Sua igreja conduzir,
E com Ele habitaremos
No celestial porvir. [Estribilho]

3. Cristo volta! Não sabemos
Em que dia vai descer.
Mas podemos ter certeza
Que Seu rosto vamos ver!
A Palavra nos revela,
Ela não há de falhar,
E, por isso, esperaremos
Ver Jesus aqui voltar. [Estribilho]
