1 Señor Jesús, la luz de sol se fue,
La noche cierra ya, conmigo sé;
Sn otro amparo, Tú, por compasión,
Al desvalido da consolación.

2 Veloz se vala vida con su afán;
Su gloria, sus ensueños pasarán;
Mudanza y muerte eo en derredor:
Conmigo sé, bendito Salvador.

3 Tu gracia en todo tiempo he menester:
¿Quién otro al tentador podrá vencer?
¿Qué otro amante guía encontraré?
En sombra o sol, Señor, conmigo sé.

4 No temo el mal si Tú conmigo vas;
Al enemigo Tú lo vencerás.
En medio de miseria y de dolor,
Señor Jesús, sé Tú mi auxiliador.

5 Alza tu cruz en mi postrer visión,
Traza la senda que me lleve a Sion;
Tras las tinieblas surge y la luz. . .
Conmigo en vida y muerte sé, Jesús.

Amén.
