Representative Text

1 ¡Oh, célica Jerusalén!
¡Oh!, ¿cuándo te veré
Tu gloria, que los justos ven,
¡Oh!, ¿cuándo gozaré?
Amada patria celestial,
Ajena de dolor,
A los que agobia triste mal,
Consolará tu amor.

2 Sin sombra te contemplaré:
Hay vida y luz en ti;
Cual astro resplandeceré
Eternamente allí.
Al rey de gloria, mi Jesús,
Allí veré reinar;
Mi alma llenará de luz
En esa Sion sin par.
