Representative Text

1 Luz após trevas, glória após luz,
Ganho após perda, trono após cruz;
Paz após luta, fruto após flor,
Riso após pranto, gozo após dor.

2 Crente após ímpio, justo após réu,
Graça após ira, vista após véu;
Sol após chuva, mel após sal,
Lar após lida, bem após mal.

3 Perto após longe, Cristo após "eu",
Vida após tumba, terra ante o céu;
Glória e coroa, paz, vida e luz,
Tudo isso eu tenho, crendo em Jesus.
