Ó Deus, os três hebreus fiéis (2)

Representative Text

1. Ó Deus dos tres hebreus fieis,
Que ousáram desobedecer
As ordens impias e crueis.

Ao pé de mim, ó vem andar,
E na fornalha crucial,
Omnipotente, me salvar.

3. E quando Tu tão perto estás,
Me fogem mêdo e terror,
Eu desafio a Satanaz
E ao mundo, vão perseguidor.

4. Da allianca infernal
Eu calmo fito o plano vão,
Sorrindo do impotente mal
Que tramam contra um christão.
