1. Ó, momentos preciosos
Que passamos junto à cruz,
Recordando as tristes dores
Que, por nós, sofreu Jesus!
Sim, levando as nossas culpas,
Cristo deu-nos doce paz.
Os temores dissipou-nos
E nossa alma satisfaz!

2. Sobre o lenho pendurado,
Eis o meigo Salvador,
Convidando os pecadores
Num amplexo de favor.
Dos Seus lábios sacrossantos,
Que destilam compaixão,
Corre ardente, santo afeto,
A palavra de perdão.
