Representative Text

1 Nas densas trevas ou na luz,
Os Teus Tu guardas, ó Jesus,
Sob Tua proteção!
Cercados pelo Teu amor,
Oh, quão seguros, Salvador,
Os tens na Tua mão!

2 Consumarás em Teu amor
O que começas, Salvador,
Em cada crente em Ti,
Livrando-o pelo Teu poder,
Fazendo-o todo mal vencer,
Na curta vida aqui.

3 Eu nada tenho, nada sou;
Necessitado sempre estou
De Ti, meu Salvador.
Mas Tu és tudo e tudo tens,
Inesgotáveis são Teus bens
E Tu és meu Senhor.

4 Ó glorioso Salvador!
A Ti darei, sem fim, louvor!
Teu Nome exaltarei
Enquanto, grato, publicar
A Tua graça singular,
Ó meu bondoso Rei!
