Representative Text

1 Escucha, pobre pecador,
En Cristo hay perdón;
Te invita hoy tu Redentor,
En él hay salvación.

Refrain:
Ven a Cristo, ven a Cristo,
Ven a Emmanuel;
Y la vida, vida eterna,
Hallaras en el.

2 Por redimirte el Salvador,
Su sangre derramo;
Y en la cruz, con cruel dolor,
Tu redención obro. [Refrain]

3 Camino cierto es Jesús,
Ven y feliz serás,
Iras a la mansión de luz,
Descanso hallaras. [Refrain]

4 Ven con el santo pueblo fiel,
Dejando todo mal;
Así la paz de Dios tendrás,
Y gloria inmortal. [Refrain]
