1 Heme aquí, Jesús bendito,
Agobiado vengo a Ti,
Y en mis males necesito
Que te apiades Tú de mí.
Ya no puedo con la carga
Que me oprime sin cesar:
Es mi vida tan amarga,
Tan intenso mi penar.
2 Por auxilio clamo en vano,
Aunque lo busqué doquier;
Ni el amigo ni el hermano
Me han podido socorrer;
Pero Tú, Jesús, me invitas
Con cordial solicitud,
Tú me libras de mis cuitas
Y me ofreces la salud.
3 Heme, pues, en tu presencia;
Líbrame de mi ansiedad:
Que es tan grande tu potencia
Como es grande tu piedad;
Y jamás ha recurrido
Sin buen éxito a tu amor,
Por consuelo el afligido,
Por perdón el pecador.
