Louvai A Deus

Representative Text

1 Louvai a Deus, Criador e Senhor do universo;
Louvai a quem vos livrou de destino adverso
Vinde ao redil,
Fugi do mundo hostil,
Vinde entoar novo verso!

2 Louvai a Deus, Conselheiro e Rei deste mundo,
Que nos liberta e guarda do mal mais profundo
Pois nosso Deus
Protege os filhos seus
Em seu regaço fecundo!

3 Louvai a Deus, que vos mostra o caminho correto
E vos abriga na graça de seu puro afeto
Vencei o mal
E o engano fatal;
Eis o divino decreto!
