Riquezas do Céu – 598

Oh! Seek not the riches

Oh! buscai, não as riquezas

Of this world of uncertainty!

Deste mundo de incertezas!

The riches of heaven bring no sorrow:

As do Céu não têm tristezas:

Oh! Seek them, yes, seek them!

Oh! buscai-as, sim, buscai!

Oh! Seek not the follies

Oh! buscai. não as loucuras

That only bring bitterness,

Que só trazem amarguras.

But the everlasting blessings:

Mas as eternais venturas:

Oh! Seek them, yes, seek them!

Oh! buscai-as, sim. buscai!

Oh! Seek Jesus first,

Oh! buscai Jesus primeiro,

The true and faithful Lamb!

Ao real, fiel Cordeiro!

In Him there is true joy:

Nele há gozo verdadeiro:

Oh! Seek Him, yes, seek Him!

Oh! buscai-o, sim, buscai!

Yes, seek blessed Jesus,

Sim, buscai Jesus bendito,

His love is infinite,

Seu amor é infinito,

Unspeakable and marvelous:

Inefável, inaudito:

Oh! Seek Him, yes, seek Him!

Oh! buscai-o, sim, buscai!

Oh! Seek holiness,

Oh! buscai a santidade,

Purity and charity!

A pureza, a caridade!

With reverence and humility,

Com temor, com humildade,

Oh! Seek them, yes, seek them!

Oh! buscai-as! sim, buscai!

Be imitators of Jesus,

De Jesus imitadores,

Be faithful workers!

Sede bons trabalhadores!

And seek the lost sinners:

E buscai os pecadores:

Oh! Seek them, yes, seek them!

Oh! buscai-os, sim, buscai!

With love, invite them;

Com amor, a convidá-los.

Go now and seek them,

Ide agora procurá-los,

For Jesus calls you to bring them:

Pois Jesus manda chamá-los:

Oh! Seek them, yes, seek them!

Oh! buscai-os, sim, buscai!
