1 Pura, sim, mais pura quero a mente ter;
Gozo, sim, mais gozo possa eu conhecer!
Ó Jesus bendito, ouve esta oração,
Pois a Ti pertence o meu coração.

2 Calmo, sim, mais calmo sempre quero estar;
Firme, sim, mais firme possa eu sempre andar!

Perto, sim, mais perto de Jesus estou.
Cristo é meu modelo, sempre O seguirei;
Tudo quanto anelo nEle encontrarei.
