As the World Youth Day 2013 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is approaching in about ten days time, here is the official hymn of the World Youth Day 2013, titled “Hope of the Morning” in English and “Esperança do Amanhecer” in the original Portuguese language.
Portuguese Original Lyric :
Esperança do Amanhecer
Sou marcado desde sempre
com o sinal do Redentor,
que sobre o monte, o Corcovado,
abraça o mundo com Seu amor.
(Refrão)
Cristo nos convida:
“Venham, meus amigos!”
Cristo nos envia:
“Sejam missionários!”
Juventude, primavera:
esperança do amanhecer;
quem escuta este chamado
acolhe o dom de crer!
Quem nos dera fosse a terra,
fosse o mundo todo assim!
Não à guerra, fora o ódio,
Só o bem e paz a não ter fim.
(Refrão)
Cristo nos convida:
“Venham, meus amigos!”
Cristo nos envia:
“Sejam missionários!”
Do nascente ao poente,
nossa casa não tem porta,
nossa terra não tem cerca,
nem limites o nosso amor!
Espalhados pelo mundo,
conservamos o mesmo ardor.
É Tua graça que nos sustenta
nos mantém fiéis a Ti, Senhor!
(Refrão)
Cristo nos convida:
“Venham, meus amigos!”
Cristo nos envia:
“Sejam missionários!”
Atendendo ao Teu chamado:
“Vão e façam, entre as nações,
um povo novo, em unidade,
para mim seus corações!”
Anunciar Teu Evangelho
a toda gente é transformar
o velho homem em novo homem
em mundo novo que vai chegar.
English Lyric :
Hope of the Morning
Under the shadow marked forever
with the Sign of the Redeemer,
On the hilltop, Corcovado,
The whole world is filled with His Love.
Refrain :
Christ invites us :
“Come to Me, be My friends”
Christ, He sends us :
“Go! Be missionaries”
Can you see it, it is springtime
we have the hope of the dawn
Can you hear Him? He is calling
Receive His gift of faith!
Can you imagine, if every nation
Every tribe and tongue, this generation
saying no to war, no to hatred
Love, peace, and goodness reigns
Refrain :
Christ invites us :
“Come to Me, be My friends”
Christ, He sends us :
“Go! Be missionaries”
From the East to the West,
our house is open we have no doors,
Our land has no fences,
There are no limits to our love!
We are scattered throughout the world
But we all keep the same zeal
It is Your grace that sustains us
and keeps us faithful to You!
Refrain :
Christ invites us :
“Come to Me, be My friends”
Christ, He sends us :
“Go! Be missionaries”
We hear You, as You say
“Go make disciples, of all nations”
A new people in unity
Bring their hearts to Me!
Proclaiming Your Gospel
Lives are changed, we’re not the same
A new creation, the old has gone
We know a new world will come
Refrain :
Christ invites us :
“Come to Me, be My friends”
Christ, He sends us :
“Go! Be missionaries”
