Representative Text

1. Eterno Deus, supremo Deus!
Quão pura é Tua luz!
Ó, quão felizes são os Teus,
Que anseiam ver ali nos Céus
A glória de Jesus!

2. Eterno amor, divino amor!
Quem pode amar assim?
Na amarga cruz, o Teu favor
Mostraste ao pobre pecador,
Divino amor sem-fim!

3. Eterno lar, celeste lar,
que cenas de prazer!
De glória e bênção singular
Tu mesmo queres outorgar
A quem a Ti volver!
