Querido Lar
De todas as terras irão chegar
Um a um! Um a um!
Na eterna mansão, para ali morar,
Sim, um a um!
Vestidos de trajes celestiais,
Bem longe do mundo e dos tristes ais,
Desfrutam com Cristo a perfeita paz,
Gozando uma vida que satisfaz.
No eterno lar, querido lar,
Ei-los entrando um a um!
No eterno lar, no lindo lar,
Sim, um a um!
Também nós havemos de ali chegar,
Um a um! Um a um!
Da glória dos salvos compartilhar,
Sim, um a um!
Irão uns entrar nesse lar de além
Sem muito sofrer no viver de aquém,
Mas outros terão de lutar, sofrer,
Porém hão de entrar sem desfalecer.
Humildes, submissos a ti, Senhor,
Todos nós! Todos nós!
Queremos viver sob o teu favor,
Sim, todos nós!
Contigo almejamos participar
Da vida gloriosa do eterno lar.
Ó tu, que dominas a terra e os céus,
Transporta-nos todos nos braços teus!
Dear Home
From all lands they will come
One by one! One by one!
To the eternal mansion, to dwell there
Yes, one by one!
Clothed in celestial attire
Far from the world and its sad cries
They enjoy with Christ the perfect peace
Enjoying a life that satisfies
In the eternal home, dear home
Here they enter one by one!
In the eternal home, in the lovely home
Yes, one by one!
We too shall arrive there
One by one! One by one!
To share in the glory of the saved
Yes, one by one!
Some will enter that home beyond
Without much suffering in this life
But others will have to struggle, suffer
Yet they will enter without faltering
Humble, submissive to you, Lord
All of us! All of us!
We want to live under your favor
Yes, all of us!
With you we long to partake
In the glorious life of the eternal home
O you who rule over the earth and the heavens
Carry us all in your arms
