Nívea Luz – 91

1

Jesus, I long for the purity of heaven,

Jesus, eu almejo a pureza do céu,

Your lovely presence within my heart;

Tua linda presença no coração meu

I break all my idols, take me, Jesus;

Os ídolos quebro, me toma Jesus;

Oh, give me the purity of snow-white light.

Ó dá-me a pureza da nívea luz.

Snow-white light, the snow-white light,

Nívea luz, a nívea luz,

Oh, give me the purity of snow-white light.

Ó dá-me a pureza da nívea luz.

Jesus, help me while I strive

Jesus, me acode enquanto lidar,

To place everything upon the holy altar;

A colocar tudo no santo altar;

I surrender myself to You; into the flames I have gone;

A Ti me entrego; nas chamas me pus;

Oh, give me the purity of snow-white light!

Ó dá-me a pureza da nívea luz!

Jesus, earnestly and humbly I have pleaded

Jesus, com instância, humilde, roguei

That the perfect blood may give me purity;

Que o sangue perfeito pureza me dê;

Wash me in the fountain opened at the cross;

Me lava na fonte aberta na cruz

Oh, give me the purity of snow-white light!

Ó dá-me a pureza da nívea luz!

Jesus, at this moment, I await the hand

Jesus, neste instante, espero a mão

That shall create in me a good heart;

Que há de criar-me o bom coração;

To those who ask God for the Spirit,

Aqueles que o Espírito pedem de Deus,

You always give the purity of snow-white light!

Dás sempre a pureza da nívea luz!
