Cristo, Meu Mestre

Christ, my Master, my one-of-a-kind friend,
You give rest, real salvation in the end.
When I'm tested, and I'm about to break,
You, my beloved Christ, come to my aid, for my sake.

Close, so close, I’ll draw near to you:
Close, so close, come, Lord, to me too.

Only you will support me: when I’m chased and alone,
In you, oh Christ, I’ll find help of my own.
For in you I can resist temptation's call,
Yes, in you I gain strength, peace, and forgiveness for all.

Christ, my Master, what more joy can I claim
Than to see your glory in your kingdom's name?
In your embrace, I want to lay my head down,
To find rest from this grind, to lose this frown.
