Representative Text

1 Ved al Cristo, Rey de gloria,
es del mundo el vencedor;
del sepulcro sale invicto,
todos démosle loor.

Estribillo:
Alabadle, santos todos,
alabad al Rey de reyes.
Alabadle, santos todos,
alabad al Salvador.

2 Exaltadle, exaltadle;
ricos triunfos trae Jesús;
y los reinos e este mundo
son hoy suyos por la cruz. [Estribillo]

3 Si las gentes se burlaron
coronando al Salvador,
hoy los ángeles y santos
le proclaman su Señor. [Estribillo]

4 Escuchad las alabanzas
que se elevan hacia Él.
Victorioso reina el Cristo;
adorad a Emmanuel. [Estribillo]
