En el monte Calvario

Representative Text

1 En el monte Calvario se vio una cruz,
Emblema de afrenta y dolor.
Y yo aprecio esa cruz, do murió mi Jesús,
Por salvar al más vil pecador.

Coro:
¡Cuánto estimo la cruz de Jesus!
En sus triunfos mi gloria será.
Y algún día en vez de una cruz,
Mi corona Jesús me dará.

2 En la cruz du su sangre Jesús derramó,
Hermosura contemplo en visión,
Pues en ella el Cordero inmolado murió,
Para darme pureza y perdón. [Coro]

3 Seguiré a Jesús, tomaré hoy mi cruz,
Los desprecios con él sufriré;
Y algún día feliz, con los santos en luz,
Para siempre su gloria tendré. [Coro]
