1 Peregrinando vou pelos montes
E pelos vales, sempre na luz!
Cristo promete nunca deixar-me,
"Eis-Me convosco", disse Jesus.

Refrain:
Brilho celeste! Brilho celeste!
Enche a minha alma a glória de Deus!
Com aleluias, sigo cantando,
Canto louvores, indo pra os céus!

2 Sombras à roda, nuvens em cima
O Salvador não hão de ocultar,
Ele é a luz que nunca se apaga,
Junto a Seu lado sempre hei de andar.

3 Vão-me guiando raios benditos,
Que me conduzem para a mansão;
Mais e mais perto, o Mestre seguindo,
Canto os louvores da salvação.
