Representative Text

1. Despertado coração,
Em Jesus há salvação;
Eis-nos todos a rogar
Para Cristo te salvar.

Estribilho:
Vem, amigo, ó, vem já,
A Jesus te dedicar!
Vem, amigo, ó, vem já!
Ele, pois, te quer salvar!

2. Basta já de rebelião,
De vergonha e perdição;
Com paciência, com amor,
Já te espera o Redentor. [Estribilho]

3. Quanto o mundo prometeu,
Isto nunca te valeu;
Em Jesus encontrarás
Salvação, amor e paz. [Estribilho]
