1 De mi tristeza y esclavitud,
Vengo, Jesús, Vengo, Jesús.
A tu alegría y tu virtud,
Vengo, Jesús, a ti.
De mi pobreza y enfermedad,
A tu salud y rica bondad;
A tu presencia, de mi maldad,
Vengo, Jesús, a ti.

2 De mi flaqueza y falta de luz,
Vengo, Jesús, Vengo, Jesús.
Al eminente bien de tu cruz,
Vengo, Jesús, a ti.
De sufrimiento que es terrenal,
A ti mi médico celestial;
Para ser libre de todo mal,
Vengo, Jesús, a ti.

3 De mi soberbia y ansiedad,
Vengo, Jesús, Vengo, Jesús.
Para morar en tu voluntad,
Vengo, Jesús, a ti.
De mi tristeza a tu gran amor,
A lo del cielo consolador;
Para por siempre darte loor,
Vengo, Jesús, a ti.

4 De ese terror que la tumba da,
Vengo, Jesús, Vengo, Jesús.
A la brillante luz de tu hogar,
Vengo, Jesús, a ti.
De la indecible profundidad,
A tu redil de tranquilidad;
A ver tu faz por la eternidad,
Vengo, Jesús, a ti.

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
