My comfort still is this: may Jesus Christ be praised! 3 Let earth's wide circle round in joyful notes resound: may Jesus Christ be praised! Let air and sea and sky from depth to height reply: may Jesus Christ be praised! 4 Be this, while life is mine, my canticle divine: may Jesus Christ be praised! Be this the eternal song through all the ages long: may Jesus Christ be praised!

Lyrics: 1 ¡Oh qué amigo nos es Cristo! él llevó nuestro dolor; Él nos manda que llevemos todo a Dios en oración. ¿Vive el hombre desprovisto de paz, gozo y santo amor? Esto es porque no llevamos todo a Dios en oración. 2 ¿Andes débil y cargado de cuidados y temor? A Jesús, refugio eterno, dile todo en oración. ¿Te desprecian tus amigos? cuéntaselo en oración; En sus brazos gozo tierno, paz tendrá tu corazón. 3 Jesucristo es nuestro Amigo: de esto prueba nos mostró, Pues a redimirnos vino; por nosotros se humanó. El castigo de su pueblo en su muerte él sufrió; Cristo es un Amigo eterno; sólo en él confío yo.
