QUANDO ANDAMOS NA LUZ

Representative Text

1 Quando andamos na luz e tomamos a cruz
E seguimos ao nosso Senhor,
Com que bênção e paz Ele nos satisfaz
E nos enche do Seu santo amor!

Refrain:
É confiar, sim, e obedecer,
Se contentes em Cristo
Nós queremos viver.

2 Não há nem uma dor, nem um só dissabor
Que tenhamos aqui de sofrer,
Que não possa Jesus, se tomarmos a cruz,
Sempre em gozo e em paz converter!

3 Que saibamos mostrar por um mui digno andar
Que Jesus é o nosso Senhor;
E, ao servi-lO, serão nossas vidas, então,
Sacrifícios de puro louvor.
