Hay un lugar do quiero estar

Representative Text

1 Hay un lugar do quiero estar
Muy cerca de mi Redentor,
Allí podré yo descansar
Al fiel amparo de su amor.

Refrain:
Muy cerca de mi Redentor
Seguro asilo encontraré;
Me guardará del tentador
Y ya de nada temeré.

2 Quitarme el mundo no podrá
La paz que halló mi corazón;
Jesús amante me dará
La más segura protección. [Refrain]

3 Ni dudas ni temor tendré
Estando cerca de Jesús;
Rodeado siempre me veré
Con los fulgores de su luz. [Refrain]
