A Esperança Entre Nós
Pe. Fábio de Melo
Hope Among Us
Behold in the green Brazilian lands
Other flags are coming,
Other civilizations
They heard the voice that cries from the desert
They desired to see up close
What God will do here
Nations sail through this river
Rio de Janeiro protected
By the Christ the Redeemer
Brazil, open arms to the world
Holy and fertile ground
Where God planted roots
Joy spreads through the streets
Awakens the power of life
Undoes all darkness
Liturgy of love that reconnects us
Congregates and transforms the world
In the homeland of the heart
There is a shining hope among us
Coming to stay, preparing tomorrow
The kingdom of God anticipates here
We are the chance for a better world
We want God, here is our reason
To honor the blood that redeemed us
Behold, what the Lord now asks of us
Go and make disciples
Of all nations
From the Cross springs the mission that sends us
Two lines that interconnect
Our humanity to God
Making Christ happen in history
Celebrating His memory
Promoting peace, salvation
Maternal protection accompanies us
Goes ahead of this Church
Sweet and tender mother of God
Lady guardian of virtue
Who encourages youth
To follow the steps of Jesus
Joy spreads through the streets
Awakens the power of life
Undoes all darkness
Liturgy of love that reconnects us
Congregates and transforms the world
In the homeland of the heart
There is a shining hope among us
Coming to stay, preparing tomorrow
The Kingdom of God anticipates here
We are the chance for a better world
We want God, here is our reason
To honor the blood that redeemed us
Behold what the Lord now asks of us
Go and make disciples
There is a shining hope among us
Coming to stay, preparing tomorrow
The Kingdom of God anticipates here
We are the chance for a better world
We want God, here is our reason
To honor the blood that redeemed us
Behold what the Lord now asks of us
Go and make disciples
Of all nations
