Cristo, en nosotros queda

Representative Text

1 Cristo, en nosotros queda
Con divinal favor;
Al enemigo veda
Nos dañe en su furor.

2 Cristo, en nosotros queda
Con gloria y resplandor;
Tu luz en la vereda
Nos guarde del error.

3 Cristo, en nosotros queda
Con tu fiel protección,
Que el alma nunca ceda
A ruda tentación.

4 Cristo, en nosotros queda
Con rica bendición:
Tu gracia nos conceda
Eterna redención.

Amén.
