Estribillo:
El Rey de gloria viene: reina alegría.
¡Abran las puertas, canten todos y aplaudan!

1 ¿Quién es el Rey de gloria? ¿Cómo se llama?
Es Emanuel, el prometido hace siglos. [Estribillo]

2 Por campos y poblados de Galilea
entre su gente va hablando y sanando. [Estribillo]

3 Este es el Hijo de David, nuestro hermano;
en toda Galilea como Él no hay nadie. [Estribillo]

4 Por todos dio su vida, total entrega,
cargó con todos los pecados del pueblo. [Estribillo]

5 Venció la muerte y ha resucitado.
Nos llama hoy a compartir su evangelio. [Estribillo]
