Lugar de Delícias

Next to God's throne prepared
There, Christian, a place for you
There are perfumes, there is exalted joy
There are abundant delights there
Yes, there; yes, there
Surrounded by His faithful angels
In a sphere of glory and light
Jesus awaits us next to God

The charms of the earth cannot
Give an idea of the joy there
If on earth pleasures come
They are pleasures that end here
But there, but there
Eternal joys come together
With the perpetual existence of light
To make us happy with Jesus

Let us keep in our memory
The riches of the beautiful country
And let us keep with us the hope
Of a better, happier life
For from there, from there
A true voice does not tire
Of offering us from the kingdom of light
The protective love of Jesus

If we want to enjoy the happiness
That will be in the beautiful country
It is only to ask with a pure soul
That Jesus will give us grace
For from there, from there
All full of love, of tenderness
Of that love that He showed us on the cross
Jesus listens to us, hears us
