1 Eu já contente estou: Jesus me achou!
Sim, satisfeito vou: Jesus me achou!
Gozo que o mundo traz mui pronto se desfaz,
Mas tenho sempre paz, paz em Jesus!

2 Posso eu envelhecer: nunca Jesus!
Posso eu empobrecer: rico é Jesus!
Tudo me suprirá, sempre me valerá,
Nada me faltará, tendo eu Jesus!

3 Um grande Salvador tenho em Jesus!
Um forte Protetor tenho em Jesus!
É minha redenção e santificação;
Sim, paz e perfeição tenho em Jesus!
