Nítido rayo por Cristo

Representative Text

1 Nítido rayo, por Cristo,
Yo quiero siempre ser,
En todo quiero agradarle,
Y hacerlo con placer.

Refrain:
Un nítido rayo,
Nítido rayo por Cristo,
Un nítido rayo,
Nítido rayo seré.

2 A Cristo quiero llegarme,
En mi temprana edad,
Por siempre quiero amarle,
Y hacer su voluntad. [Refrain]

3 Nítido rayo en tinieblas,
Deseo resplandecer;
Almas perdidas a Cristo,
Anhelo conducir. [Refrain]

4 Una mansión en el cielo,
Fue Cristo a preparar,
Que el niño tierno y amante,
En ella pueda entrar. [Refrain]
