Sobre o rude monte

Té que ao fim vá descansar

Salvo, além do rio

Graça eterna achou-me;

Eternal grace found me;

Lá a Estrela da manhã

Raios Seus mandou-me

Dela, à sombra, ó Salvador,

Beneath it, in the shadow, O Savior,

Queiras abrigar-me

Sem temor vigio,

Pois ao lar paterno irei,

Salvo, além do rio
