De entre las ciudades todas

Representative Text

1 De entre las ciudades todas
La escogida fue Belén;
De ella nace un gran caudillo
Que gobierna a Israel.

2 A su cuna van los sabios,
Ricos dones a ofrecer,
Y le muestran su respeto,
Reconocimiento y fe.

3 El incienso a Dios proclama;
Oro se le ofrece al rey,
Y la mirra indica al hombre
Que ha venido a padecer.

4 ¡Mi Jesús, mi Dios, mi hermano,
Soberano, excelso rey!
Aunque pobre, yo mis dones
Hoy también quiero ofrecer.

5 Y en la vida y en la muerte
Todo tuyo quiero ser;
Reinas siempre con el Padre
Y el Espíritu. Amén.
