1 Jesús de los cielos,
Al mundo bajó,
En busca de joyas
Que amante compró.

Refrain:
Los niños salvados
Serán como el sol,
Brillando en la gloria
Del rey Salvador.

2 Angustias y muerte,
Y horrible aflicción
Costaron las joyas
Que amante compró. [Refrain]

3 Su hermosa diadema,
De eterno esplendor,
La adornan las joyas
Que amante compró. [Refrain]

4 Los niños y niñas,
Que van al Señor,
Son todas las joyas
Que amante compró. [Refrain]

5 Venid, pues, alegres,
Al buen Redentor;
El quiere las joyas
Que amante compró. [Refrain]
