1 Es Cristo quien por mí murió,
mis culpas por borrar;
Dolor y penas él sufrió,
mi alma por salvar.

Coro:
¡Oh, cuánto le amo!
¡Oh, cuánto le amo!
¡Oh, cuánto le amo!
porque él murió por mi.

2 Jesús el nombre sin igual,
precioso es para mí;
Cual grata nota musical
resuena en mi oír. [Coro]

3 Con Cristo yo seguro estoy,
me da perfecta paz;
Conmigo va, pues suyo soy;
no temeré jamás. [Coro]

4 En horas tristes de dolor
consuelo da Jesús;
Me ofrece fuerzas y valor,
me guía en su luz. [Coro]
