Meditad en que hay un hogar

Representative Text

1 Meditad en que hay un hogar,
En la margen del río de luz,
Donde van para siempre a gozar,
Los creyentes en Cristo Jesús.
Más allá, más allá,
Meditad en que hay un hogar,
Más allá, más allá, más allá,
En la margen del río de luz.

2 Meditad en que amigos tenéis,
De los cuales marchamos en pos,
Y pensad en que al fin los veréis,
En el alto palacio de Dios.
Más allá, más allá,
Meditad en que amigos tenéis
Más allá, más allá, más allá,
De los cuales marchamos en pos.

3 En que mora Jesús meditar,
Donde seres que amamos están,
Y a la patria bendita volad,
Sin angustias, temores ni afán
Más allá, más allá,
En que mora Jesús meditad,
Más allá, más allá, más allá,
Donde seres que amamos están.

4 Reunido a los míos seré,
Mi carrera su fin toca ya;
Y en mi hogar celestial entrare,
Do mi alma reposo tendrá.
Más allá, más allá,
Reunido a los míos seré,
Más allá, más allá, más allá,
Mi carrera su fin toca ya.
