Venid, pastorcillos

Representative Text

1 Venid, pastorcillos, venid a adorar
al Rey de los cielos que nace en Judá.
Sin ricas ofrendas podemos llegar,
que el niño prefiere la fe y la bondad.

2 Un rústico techo abrigo le da;
por cuna un pesebre, por templo un portal;
en lecho de pajas incógnito está
quien quiso a los astros su gloria prestar.

3 Hermoso lucero le vino a anunciar,
y magos de Oriente buscándole van;
delante se postran del Rey de Judá,
de incienso, oro y mirra tributo le dan.

4 Con alma y con vayamos allá,
que Dios, niño y pobre, nos recibirá.
Los brazos nos tiende con grato ademán:
"Venid," nos repite su voz celestial.
