Representative Text

1 Toma mi mano, hermano*, Cristo resucitó;
vengamos a la mesa que nos ofrece Dios.
Toma mi mano, hermano*, Cristo resucitó.

Estribillo:
Ven, hermano*, ven; toma mi mano, ven.
Ven a la mesa de nuestro Redentor,
unidos en la Iglesia por la fe y el amor.

2 Al vernos en tristezas, al mundo Él llegó,
y en la cruz de sus brazos la vida derramó.
Toma mi mano, hermano*, Cristo resucitó. [Estribillo]

3 El vino de su sangre nuestro dolor borró,
y en pan de harina y diva, nuevo vivir nos dio.
Toma mi mano, hermano*, Cristo resucitó. [Estribillo]

4 Comemos de su cuerpo, trigo de redención;
bebemos de su sangre, vino de cruz y amor.
Toma mi mano, hermano*, Cristo resucitó. [Estribillo]

*hermana
