O abre o céu que vem de lá
Vem meu preto velho abençoar
O preto velho vem falar de amor
Vem trazer a paz de nosso Senhor
O preto velho nos mostra a humildade
Salve Jesus Pai José da Caridade
Luar do sertão eu ouvi tocar
Trazendo a vibração do lindo luar
O abre o céu...
Pai João do Congo vem saudar o congar
Com sua sabedoria vem nos ensinar
Salve sua força ó pai Jacó
Nos mostra que em Deus a fé é maior
O abre o céu...
Pai João da pedreira arrebenta a barreira
Com a fé em Jesus não existe fronteira
Ela vem da terra dos orixás
Sinhá Rita da Bahia vem abençoar
O abre o céu...
Pai Malaquias transmite amor e luz
Esse pretinho trabalha pra Jesus
Todos os pretos velhos, vamos homenagear
Que a luz de Jesus vem abençoar
O abre o céu...
