Ó amigo divinal (4)

Representative Text

1 Ó Amigo divinal,
Quero para Ti voar!
E fugir do temporal,
Do tumultuoso mar!
Que refúgio descobri
Em Teu doce coração!
Acho, ó Cristo, agora em Ti
Bom abrigo e salvação.

2 Outro abrigo, eu sei, não há,
Meu amparo, meu prazer!
Triste e só, não deixará
Teu amor, meu pobre ser.
Nessa Tua proteção
Toda a confiança pus;
Venha a Tua perfeição
Adornar-me, meu Jesus.

3 Quanto posso carecer
Acho em Ti, e muito mais;
Quando caio, vens me erguer:
Mudas em sorriso os ais.
Em mim mesmo nada sou,
Mas Teu Nome santo é;
Em pecado me encontrou
Teu amor e deu-me a fé.

4 Essa graça, à qual eu vim
Meus pecados entregar,
Venha em jorros sobre mim,
A pureza conservar!
Venho a vida em Ti beber,
Ó Nascente divinal;
Tu em mim farás nascer
Uma fonte perenal.
