1 Graças sejam dadas a Deus
Pelo dom do bom Salvador;
Graças ao Senhor que morreu
E de Deus mostrou-nos favor.
Temos em Jesus salvação,
Por Seu sangue já gozamos paz;
Essa morte que Ele sofreu
Pureza divina nos traz.

Refrain:
Sempre com Jesus! Puros como a luz
Pelo sangue que Ele verteu
Por nós, ao morrer sobre a cruz.

2 Grande foi na cruz essa dor
Que por culpas nossas sofreu;
Grande o Seu notável amor
Pelos homens, por quem morreu.
Infinitas glórias ganhou
Quando deu a Sua vida ali;
Incessantes graças terá
Dos Seus resgatados aqui.

3 Muitas bênçãos Ele nos deu
Quando o nosso mal expiou;
Gozo, paz, vigor, salvação,
Para nós, culpados, ganhou.
Mas a bênção mais divinal
Foi que, mesmo ao pobre pecador,
Quando padeceu sobre a cruz,
Jesus revelou Seu amor.
