¿Vives triste y angustiado?

Representative Text

1 ¿Vives triste y angustiado?
¿Buscas tú solaz?
"Ven a Mí," te dice Cristo,
"Y halla paz."

2 ¿Qué señales hay que indiquen
Que Él me guía es?

Y en sus pies.

3 ¿Hay corona que le adorne
Su cabeza al rey?
Sí, corona, mas de espinas,

4 Si le busco, si le sigo,
¿Cuál será su don?
Del pecado, del infierno,
Redencion.

5 Si le pido que me salve,
¿Me recibirá?
Puesto que por ti Él ha muerto,
Salvará.

6 ¿Hoy, por fe, la vida eterna
Me ha. de dar a mí?
Su Palabra te responde:
"Sí, hoy, sí."

Amén.
