Naufrágio
Uma barca naufragando, quem lhe valerá?
Afundando está no abismo, quem a salvará?
Naufragante escuta teu bom Salvador:
Eis me pronto pra salvar-te, confia só no meu amor;
Sim, eis me pronto pra salvar-te, confia, e deixa teu temor.
Já desfalecendo o nauta, vê-se a perecer,
E suplica muito ansioso; venham me valer.
É revolto o mar da vida, para o viajor,
Ao clamar, porém, socorre-o Cristo, o Salvador.
Enfrentando a negra morte, cheia de pavor,
Foi que Cristo quis salvar-te, pobre pecador.
Shipwreck
A boat sinking, who will help it?
Sinking into the abyss, who will save it?
The shipwrecked one listens to your good Savior:
Here I am ready to save you, just trust in my love;
Yes, here I am ready to save you, trust, and leave your fear behind.
The sailor is already fainting, seeing himself perish,
And pleads very anxiously; come help me.
The sea of life is turbulent for the traveler,
But when he cries out, Christ, the Savior, helps him.
Facing the dark death, full of dread,
It was Christ who wanted to save you, poor sinner.
