Representative Text

1 Somente em Ti, Jesus, confio, ó Salvador!
Em quem, senão em Ti, descansarei, Senhor?
É só no Teu excelso amor
Que tenho abrigo, ó meu Senhor!

2 Eu pobre escravo fui, mas Tu, Senhor Jesus,
Do jugo que senti, livraste-me na cruz
E, preso pelo Teu amor,
Agora sirvo a Ti, Senhor.

3 O dia alegre vem, o Amado voltará;
Então a vida além minha alma gozará.
Eu com Jesus descansarei
E Seu louvor entoarei.
