Nuestro sol se pone ya

Representative Text

1 Nuestro sol se pone ya,
Todo en calma quedará:
La plegaria levantad
Que bendiga la bondad
De nuestro Dios.

Coro:
¡Santo, santo, santo Dios eternal!
Cielo y tierra, de tu amor
Llenos hoy están, Señor:
¡Loor a Ti!

2 ¡Oh Señor!, tu protección
Dale hoy al corazón;
Dale aquella dulce paz
Que a los tuyos siempre das
Con plenitud. [Coro]

3 ¡Oh Señor¡, que al descansar
Pueda en Ti seguro estar,
Y mañana mi deber
Pueda siempre fiel hacer
En tu loor. [Coro]
