1 Me hirió el pecado, fui a Jesús,
mostréle mi dolor;
perdido, errante, vi su luz,
bendíjome en su amor.

Estribillo:
En la cruz, en la cruz
do primero i la luz,
y las manchas di mi alma yo lavé;
fue allí por fe do vi a Jesús,
y siempre feliz con él seré.

2 Sobre una cruz, mi buen Señor
su sangre derramó
por ests pobre pecador
a quien así salvó. [Estribillo]

3 Venció la muerte con poder,
y al cielo se exaltó;
confiar en él es mi placer,
morir no temo yo. [Estribillo]

4 Aunque él se fue, solo no estoy,
mandó al consolador,
divino Espíritu que hoy,
me da perfecto amor. [Estribillo]
