Benditos los que en su nombre el evangelio anuncian,
La buena y gran noticia de la liberación.”

Hymn of Preparation: “Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore” (“Tu Has Venido a la Orilla”) #344
The United Methodist Hymnal
Words & Music by Cesareo Gabarain; translated by Gertrude C. Suppe, George Lockwood, and Raquel Gutierrez-Achon 1987; harmony by Skinner Chavez-Melo 1987

“1. Lord, you have come to the lakeshore looking neither for wealthy or wise ones;
you only asked me to follow humbly.
O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me,
and while smiling have spoken my name;
now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me;
by your side I will seek other seas.
 
“2. You know so well my possessions;
my boat carries no gold and no weapons;
you will find there my nets and labor.
O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me,
and while smiling have spoken my name;
now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me;
by your side I will seek other seas.
 
“3. You need my hands, full of caring
through my labors to give others rest,
and constant love that keeps on loving.
O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me,
and while smiling have spoken my name;
now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me;
by your side I will seek other seas.
 
‘4. You, who have fished other oceans,
ever longed for by souls who are waiting,
my loving friend, as thus you call me. 
O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me,
and while smiling have spoken my name;
now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me;
by your side I will seek other seas.”
 
“1. Tú has venido a la orilla, no has buscado ni a sabios ni a ricos, tan sólo quieres que yo te siga.
Señor, me has mirado a los ojos y sonriendo has dicho mi nombre;
En la arena he dejado mi barca; junto a ti buscaré otro mar.
 
2. Tú sabes bien lo que tengo: en mi barca no hay oro ni espadas, tan sólo redes y mi trabajo.
Señor, me has mirado a los ojos y sonriendo has dicho mi nombre;
En la arena he dejado mi barca; junto a ti buscaré otro mar.
 
3. Tú necesitas mis manos, mi cansancio que a otros descanse,
amor que quiera seguir amando.
Señor, me has mirado a los ojos y sonriendo has dicho mi nombre;
En la arena he dejado mi barca; junto a ti buscaré otro mar.
 
4. Tú, pescador de otros mares, ansia eterna de almas que esperan,
amigo bueno, que así me llamas.
Señor, me has mirado a los ojos y sonriendo has dicho mi nombre;
En la arena he dejado mi barca; junto a ti buscaré otro mar.”

The United Methodist Hymnal
Words: Stanza 1 anonymous, translated by Elise S. Eslinger, 1983; stanzas 2,3,4 Roberto Escamilla 1983, translated by George Lockwood 1987 (Romans 14:8)

“1. When we are living, it is in Christ Jesus,
and when we’re dying, it is in the Lord.
Both in our living and in our dying,
we belong to God, we belong to God.
 
2. Through all our living, we our fruits must give.
Good works of service are for offering.
When we are giving, or when receiving,
we belong to God, we belong to God.
 
3. ‘Mid times of sorrow and in times of pain,
when sensing beauty or in love’s embrace,
whether we suffer, or sing rejoicing,
we belong to God, we belong to God.
 
4. Across this wide world, we shall always find
those who are crying with no peace of mind,
but when we help them, or when we feed them,
we belong to God, we belong to God.
 
1. Pues si vivimos para Él vivimos
y si morimos para Él morimos.
Sea que vivamos o que muramos,
somos del Señor, somos del Señor.
 
2. En esta vida, frutos hemos de dar.
Las obras buenas son para ofrendar.
Ya sea que demos o que recibamos,
somos del Señor, somos del Señor.
 
3. En la tristeza y en el dolor,
en la belleza y en el amor,
sea que suframos o que gocemos
somos del Señor, somos del Señor.
 
4. En este mundo, hemos de encontrar
gente que llora y sin consolar.
Sea que ayudemos o que alimentemos,
somos del Señor, somos del Señor.”
