Mirad al Salvador Jesús

Representative Text

1 Mirad al Salvador Jesús,
el Príncipe benigno,
Por mí muriendo en la cruz,
por mei, tan vil, indigno.

Coro:
De amor la prueba hela aquí:
el Salvador murió por mí.
Por mí, poe mí, Jesús murió por mí.

2 El sol su rostro encubrió
al ver su agonía;
La dura peña se partió;
¿Lo oyes, alma mía? [Coro]

3 Y yo también al ver la cruz,
por ella soy vencido;
Mi corazón te doy, Jesús,
a tu amor rendido. [Coro]
