Allá en el pesebre

Representative Text

1 Allá en el pesebre, do nace Jesús,
la cuna de paja nos vierte gran luz.
Estrellas lejanas del cielo al mirar,
se inclinan gozosas su lumbre a prestar.

2 Pastores del campo, teniendo temor,
cercados de luz y de gran resplandor,
acuden aprisa buscando a Jesús,
nacido en pesebre, del mundo la luz.

3 Extraño bullicio despierta al Señor;
mas no llora el niño pues es puro amor.
Oh vélanos, Cristo Jesús, sin cesar;
y siempre felices habremos de estar.
