Representative Text

1. Eu sei que vive o Redemptor
Ao Pae por mim rogar.
Penhor me dá do seu amor;
Já vem me libertar.

2. Desalentado e a desmaiar,
Me traz a salvação.
Que tenho eu de receiar?
Seus pés não tardarão.

3. Me manda: "Santo sejas tu!"
Quem ousa resistir?
A graça, que Elle prometteu,
De tudo vem cumprir.

4. Jesus, na tua promissão
Confio sem hesitar.
Tu vens com plena salvação
Minha alma libertar.

5. Jesus é meu, e d'Elle sou,
Do céu já possuidor
Paz indizivel gózo eu,
No seio do Senhor.
