Lyrics (español)
Tiempo de espera,
tiempo de esperanza.
es el Señor el que llega,
ven a salvarnos, Señor.
1. Tú que sueñas otros días,
otros cielos, otra tierra;
se han cumplido ya los tiempos,
en la hora del Señor.
2. Tú que marchas en las sombras,
tú que buscas claridades;
tú que en medio de las cosas,
vas buscando la verdad.
3. Tú que luchas por un mundo,
de justicia verdadera;
tú que buscas otras sendas,
de unidad y libertad.
4. Tú que sufres en la espera,
tú que tengas la esperanza;
el Señor es el que llega,
Él nos da la salvación.
Lyrics (English)
Refrain:
Time to wait,
time of hope.
it is the Lord who comes,
come to save us, Lord.
1. You who dream of other days
other heavens, another earth;
the times are fulfilled,
in the hour of the Lord.
2. You who march in the shadows,
you who seek clarity;
you who in the midst of things
You who seek the truth in the midst of things.
3. You who fight for a world of true justice
of true justice;
you who seek other paths,
of unity and freedom.
4. You who suffer in waiting,
you who hope;
the Lord is the one who comes,
He gives us salvation.
A Singing Communion of Churches
During this Advent season, LWF member churches are sharing hymns from their congregations to show how the Lutheran communion regions prepare for Christ’s coming into this world.
We want to use this period to reflect on and celebrate the diversity, uniqueness and oneness of God’s gifts to us. Follow the #lwfadvent calendar lutheranworld.org/advent-hymns
