Representative Text

1 Oh! Que será com Cristo estar,
Longe de todo o mal,
Na santa habitação do Pai,
Na glória divinal!
Seu lar ser nosso, o santo amor
Em que esse Filho está:
O bom quinhão que Cristo tem
Ser nosso gozo lá!

2 Oh! Que será gozar no céu
Divina comunhão:
Com Cristo estar e conhecer
Seu santo coração;
Toda a riqueza do favor
De Cristo profundar,
Pois Ele quis conosco o bem
Dos céus compartilhar!

3 Oh! Que será nos céus além
Seu rosto contemplar,
Ouvir ali a doce voz
De Cristo ressoar,
E ver, com honra divinal,
No resplendor da luz,
Aquele a Quem os homens vis
Cravaram sobre a Cruz!
