OH, QUEM ME DERA

Representative Text

1 Oh, quem me dera sempre
Perto de Deus estar,
Em comunhão perfeita
Com meu Senhor andar,
No gozo puro e santo
Do Seu imenso amor,
A doce voz ouvindo
Do terno Salvador!

2 Oh, quem me dera a Cristo
Bem semelhante ser,
Humilde, meigo e manso,
Como Ele, aqui viver!
É meu maior desejo
Em tudo Lhe agradar,
Em tudo procurando
Meu Pai glorificar.

3 Oh, quem me dera vê-Lo,
Meu Salvador Jesus,
Lá na cidade bela,
Da qual Ele é a luz!
Ali, com Seus remidos,
A glória partilhar!
Amá-Lp e adorá-Lo!
E nunca mais pecar!
