¡Suene dulces himnos!

Representative Text

1 ¡Suenen dulces himnos gratos al Señor,
y óiganse en concierto universal!
Desde el alto cielo baja el Salvador
para beneficio del mortal.

Estribillo:
¡Gloria! ¡Gloria sea a nuestro Dios!
¡Gloria! sí, cantemos a una voz;
y el cantar de gloria que se oyó en Belén,
sea nuestro cántico también.

2 Montes y collados fluyan leche y miel,
y abundancia esparzan y solaz.
Gócense los pueblos, gócense Israel,
que a la tierra viene ya la paz. [Estribillo]

3 Salte, de alegría lleno el corazón,
la abatida y pobre humanidad.
Dios se compadece viendo su aflicción,
y le muestra buena voluntad. [Estribillo]

4 Arda en nuestro pecho noble gratitud
hacia quien nos brinda redención;
y a Jesús el Cristo, que nos da salud,
tributemos nuestra adoración. [Estribillo]
