Representative Text

1 Venid, venid, zagales,
Pastores de Belén;
Venid, cantad la gloria

Para acercar al hombre
Al infinito ser.

3 ¡Oh, amor inexplicable!
¡Sublime abnegación
De aquel que en un pesebre
Nos da su bendición!
Unid, pues, vuestras voces,
Pastores de Belén;
Venid, cantad la gloria
De Cristo, nuestro bien.
