Qué bella historia

Representative Text

1 ¡Qué bella historia! de su excelsa gloria
Bajó el Salvador, Jesús, mi Redentor.
Nació en pesebre, despreciado͜ y pobre,
Varón de lágrimas y de dolor.

Coro:
¡Oh, cuánto le amo! y fiel, le adoro;
Él es mi vida, mi Redentor;
El Rey de gloria vino a salvarme,
y a revelarme al Dios de amor.

2 ¡Qué gran misterio, tan incomprensible!
El Verbo se encarnó y al mundo descendió.
El plan oculto revelóse al hombre,
y por su tierno amor me levantó. [Coro]

3 ¡Don admirable, tan incomparable!
De plena salvación, y eterna redención.
El sol divino brilla en mi camino;
su luz alumbrará mi corazón. [Coro]
