Grande gozo hay

Representative Text

1 Grande gozo hay en mi alma hoy,
pues Jesús conmigo está,
y su paz, que ya gozando estoy
por siempre durará.

Estribillo:
Grande gozo, ¡cuán hermoso!
Paso todo el tiempo bien feliz;
porque veo de Cristo la sonriente faz,
grande gozo siento en mí.

2 Hay un canto en mi alma hoy;
melodías a mi Rey;
en su amor feliz y libre soy,
y salvo por la fe. [Estribillo]

3 Paz divina hay en mi alma hoy,
porque Cristo me salvó;
las cadenas rotas ya están,
Jesús me libertó. [Estribillo]

4 Gratitud hay en mi alma hoy,
y alabanzas a Jesús;
por su gracia a la gloria voy,
gozándome en la luz. [Estribillo]
