A Fé Dos Santos

The Faith of the Saints

A Fé Dos Santos

For the faith that was once delivered to the saintsPela fé que uma vez foi entregue aos santos
That comes to us through Jesus, and dries our tearsQue nos vem por Jesus, e nos seca o pranto
Believers can, without any fearPodem os crentes, sem ter nenhum espanto
Follow in the footsteps of the LordProsseguir nas pisadas do Senhor

In sadness, in struggles, in painNas tristezas, nas lutas, na dor
They turned to dear JesusRecorriam ao caro Jesus
The Lord gave them victoryA vitória lhes dava o Senhor
Through the blood shed on the crossPelo sangue vertido na cruz

The Christians were judged by vile courtsOs cristãos foram por tribunais vis julgados
In prisons, innocents were forcefully thrownNas prisões, inocentes, à força lançados
And stripped of their earthly possessionsE de seus bens terrestres despojados
But joyfully they followed the LordMas alegres seguiram o Senhor

Pilgrims the saints walked in the worldPeregrinos os santos no mundo andavam
They took refuge in the earth's cavesNas cavernas da terra se refugiavam
And there gathered, they celebratedE ali reunidos, celebravam
Jesus, their beloved SaviorA Jesus, seu amado Salvador

By faith is how we, believers, should alwaysPela fé é que nós, crentes, sempre devemos
Stand firm in Jesus and thus we will overcomeNos firmar em Jesus e assim venceremos
And one day, in heaven we will findE um dia, no céu encontraremos
The faithful, who loved the LordOs fiéis, que amaram o Senhor

There in heaven we will have no more painLá no céu não teremos mais dor
And the tears will ceaseE o pranto ali há de findar
When near our LordQuando perto do nosso Senhor
Our soul will finally restNossa alma, enfim, repousar
