Lyrics
Hermanos queridos: oigan esta historia
Triste y lamentable, que ayer escuché
De un alma cristiana que ha vuelto al pecado
Y se halla vagando en la oscuridad
Tenía su iglesia repleta de almas
Ellas se gozaban al ver su pastor
Pero de repente una flecha malvada
Cruzando su alma al suelo cayó
Señor porqué causa se encuentra esta alma
Perdida en pecado, cubierta del mal
Si él predicaba y almas se salvaban
Señor, porqué causa en pecado él está
Ya no es el jilguero que antes cantaba
Aquel misionero que un día predicó
Las benditas nuevas palabras sagradas
Del santo evangelio del Hijo de Dios
Lyrics translation
Dear brothers: hear this story
Sad and pitiful, that I heard yesterday
Of a Christian soul who has returned to sin
And you find yourself wandering in the dark
He had his church full of Souls
They rejoiced to see their shepherd
But suddenly an evil arrow
Crossing his soul to the ground he fell
Lord why cause is this soul found
Lost in Sin, covered with evil
If he preached and souls were saved
Lord, why cause in sin he is
He's no longer The Goldfinch he used to sing
That missionary who once preached
The Blessed New sacred words
Of the Holy Gospel of the son of God
