Eis-nos Prontos

The song 'Eis-nos Prontos' by Novo Hinário Adventista is a powerful hymn that calls for unwavering faith and readiness to follow Jesus, even in the face of adversity. The lyrics begin with a question from the Master, asking if His followers are prepared to suffer alongside Him. The immediate and resolute response, 'Eis-nos prontos a morrer!' (Here we are, ready to die!), sets the tone for the song, emphasizing a deep commitment to faith and loyalty to Jesus.

The chorus reinforces this commitment, with the followers declaring their readiness and loyalty to Jesus. They ask for divine assistance to keep their eyes on Heaven and to become temples of peace, love, and light. This metaphor of being 'temples' suggests a desire to embody the divine qualities of Jesus, serving as vessels of His teachings and presence in the world.

As the song progresses, it acknowledges the inevitable challenges and sorrows that life brings, symbolized by 'strong waves of sadness.' Despite these hardships, the followers reaffirm their readiness to follow Jesus and raise their voices in faith. The final verse looks forward to the return of the Master, expressing a hopeful anticipation of being ready to go 'home' with Him. This eschatological reference underscores the Adventist belief in the Second Coming of Christ and the ultimate reunion with Him.

'Eis-nos Prontos' is a hymn that encapsulates themes of faithfulness, readiness, and hope. It serves as a reminder to believers to stay steadfast in their faith, to seek divine help in embodying Christ-like qualities, and to look forward to the promised return of Jesus.
