1 ¡Oh Padre, eterno Dios!
Alzamos nuestra voz en gratitud
Por lo que tú nos das con sin igual amor,

2 ¡Bendito Salvador!
Te damos con amor el corazón;
Y aguí nos puedes ver, que humildes a tu altar
Venimos a ofrecer precioso don.

3 ¡Espíritu de Dios!
Escucha nuestra voz, y tu bondad
Derrame en nuestro ser divina claridad,
Para poder vivir en santidad.
