Quão glorioso, cristão, é pensares

How glorious, Christian, it is to think

Na cidade que não tem igual

Onde os muros são de puro jaspe

E as ruas de ouro e cristal

And the streets of gold and crystal


Pensa como será glorioso

Ver-se a triunfal multidão

Que cantando, aguarda a chegada

Who, singing, awaits the arrival

Dos que vencem a tribulação

Pensa como será glorioso

Ver o rio da vida e luz

Cujas margens juncadas de lírios

Whose banks, strewn with lilies

São a glória do nosso Jesus

Haverá lá perpétua aurora

There will be perpetual dawn

Pois Deus mesmo a alumiará

For God Himself will illuminate

E o cordeiro com sua esposa

And the Lamb with His bride

Noite e dia resplandecerá

Will shine night and day


Pensa na celestial melodia

Que a terra encherá de beulá

E das harpas, a doce harmonia

And the harps, the sweet harmony

Ao passar o Jordão se ouvirá

Mesmo em dores que levem à morte

Sê constante, não voltes atrás

Be constant, do not turn back

Tua herança, tua eterna sorte

Your inheritance, your eternal fate

É Jesus, o fiel, o veraz

Is Jesus, the faithful, the true
