Sempre Alegre

Let the heart be cheerful,
Always overflowing with praise,
For our heavenly father
Shows us his love

Always cheerful, always cheerful
Is the life of a good Christian;
Oh! What full joy
Springs from salvation!

We have protection in struggles,
God takes us by the hand;
His eternal grace
Gives us strength in affliction

He will always guide the righteous
With love, in his light;
Together we will all serve
The beloved and good Jesus
