La salvación llevando

Representative Text

1 La salvación llevando,
A Sion llegó el Señor;
Los niños entonaron
Hosanna en su loor.
Gozoso por su celo
Camina el Salvador,
Y manda le acompañen
Con cánticos de amor.

2 Cristo el Señor gobierna
En la Sion celestial,
Y por los suyos guarda
Cariño siempre igual;
Alzando alegres voces
A su trono eternal,
Le ensalza con hosannas
El coro angelical.

3 Alaben nuestras voces
Al Hijo de David;
Alegres corazones
Su nombre bendecid.
Y unidos cual sarmientos
A Cristo nuestra vid,
Amor le tributemos:
Al Salvador venid.
