Si dejas tú que Dios te guíe

Representative Text

1 Si dejas tú que Dios te guíe
y fias solamente en Él;
en tus angustias y conflictos
tendrás su ayuda grande y fiel.
El invariable amor de Dios
es roca firme y eternal.

2 Espera en Dios confiadamente,
lleno de gozo el corazón;
von gratitud acepta siempre
del cielo toda bendición;
Dios quiere siempre lo mejor
para los fieles de su amor.

3 En la oración constante seas,
y obediente a su ley;
su protección Dios nos ofrece,
en sus promesas pon tu fe;
pues Dios no olvida nunca al fiel,
ni al justo que confía en Él.
