Alma, bendice a Dios

Representative Text

1 Alma, bendice a Dios,
Rey potente de gloria;
de sus mercedes esté viva
en ti la memoria.
¡Oh! despertad,
arpa y salterio entonad
himnos de honor y victoria!

2 Alma, bendice a Dios
que a los orbes gobierna,
y te conduce paciente
con mano paterna;
te perdonó,
de todo mal te libró,
porque su gracia es eterna.

3 Alma, bendice a Dios,
de tu vida la fuente,
que te creó y en salud
te sostiene clemente;
tu defensor
en todo trance y dolor;
su diestra es omnipotente.

4 Alma, bendice a Dios
por su amor infinito;
con todo el pueblo de Dios
su alabanza repito;
Dios, mi salud,
de todo bien plenitud,
¡Seas por siempre bendito!

Author: Joachim Neander

Neander, Joachim, was born at Bremen, in 1650, as the eldest child of the marriage of Johann Joachim Neander and Catharina Knipping, which took place on Sept. 18, 1649, the father being then master of the Third Form in the Paedagogium at Bremen.
