Words of life and beauty
Teach me faith and duty.

Beautiful words, wonderful words,
Wonderful words of life;

Wonderful words of life;
All so freely given,
Wooing us to heaven. [Refrain]

Wonderful words of life;
Jesus, only Savior,
Sanctify forever. [Refrain]

bellas palabras de vida;
hallo en ellas mi gozo y luz,

Bellas palabras de vida.
¡Qué bellas son, qué bellas son!

bellas palabras de vida;
oye su dulce voz, mortal,
bellas palabras de vida.
Bondadoso te salva,
y al cielo te llama. [Estribillo]

3 Grato el cántico sonará,
bellas palabras de vida;
tus pecados perdonará,
bellas palabras de vida.
Sí, de luz y vida,
son sostén y guía. [Estribillo]
