A Jesucristo ven sin tardar

Representative Text

1 A Jesucristo ven sin tardar,
que entre nosotros hoy él está;
Y te convida con dulce afán,
tierno diciendo: "Ven".

Coro:
¡Oh cuán grata nuestra reunión,
cuando allá, Señor, en tu mansión,
Contigo estemos en comunión
gozando eterno bien!

2 Piensa que él sólo puede colmar
tu triste pecho de gozo y paz,
Y porque anhela tu bienestar,
vuelve a decirte: "Ven". [Coro]

3 Su voz escucha sin vacilar,
y grato acepta lo que hoy te da;
Tal vez mañana no habrá lugar;
no te detengas, Ven. [Coro]
