Esperança do Amanhecer (Hino Oficial JMJ Rio 2013)

I have been marked since always
with the sign of the Redeemer,
who on the mountain, the Corcovado,
embraces the world with His love.

(Chorus): Christ invites us:
"Come, my friends!"
Christ sends us:
"Be missionaries!"

Youth, spring:
hope of dawn;
who hears this call
welcomes the gift of believing!
If only the earth were,
if only the whole world were like this!
No to war, away with hatred,
Only good and peace without end.

From east to west,
our house has no door,
our land has no fence,
our love has no limits!
Scattered around the world,
we keep the same fervor.
It is Your grace that sustains us
and keeps us faithful to You, Lord!

Responding to Your call:
"Go and make, among the nations,
a new people, in unity,
to me their hearts!"
Announcing Your Gospel
to all people is to transform
the old man into a new man
in a new world that is coming.
