Mi fe descansa en ti

Representative Text

1 Mi fe descansa en Ti,
Cordero, que por mí
Fuiste a la cruz:
Escucha mi oración,
Dame tu bendición,
Llene mi corazón
Tu santa luz.

2 Tu gracia en mi alma pon,
Y guarde el corazón
Tu sumo amor.
Tu sangre carmesí
Diste en la cruz por mí,
¡Que viva para Ti,
Oh Salvador!

3 A ruda lid iré
Y pruebas hallaré;
Mi guía sé:
Líbrame de ansiedad,
Guárdame en santidad,
Y por la eternidad
Te alabaré.

Amén.
