Da Igreja o Fundamento

Representative Text

1 Da Igreja o fundamento
É Cristo, o Salvador,
E n’Ele ela descansa,
É forte em Seu amor;
Em Cristo edificada,
Bem firme ficará
Pois sobre a Rocha eterna,
Jamais se abalará.

2 A Pedra mui preciosa
Que Deus providenciou,
Sustenta pedras vivas
Que a graça trabalhou;
Sejamos sempre unidos,
Vivendo em plena luz,
E a glória desta Igreja
Será do Rei Jesus.

3 Em meio às duras lutas
Que deve confrontar,
Espera a Igreja, em Cristo,
Um dia triunfar,
Pois a visão gloriosa
Enfim se cumprirá,
E a Igreja vitoriosa,
Em pas repousará.
