Himno 600 - Cuando venga Jesucristo
By Himnario Adventista
What “Himno 600 - Cuando venga Jesucristo” means
This hymn is a gentle, hopeful song about Jesus returning and gathering children as precious treasures. Its emotional tone is tender and celebratory, presenting children not as small or secondary, but as beloved “gems” and “stars” that beautify Christ’s crown and kingdom. The repeated image of shining stars suggests purity, value, and divine favor, while the idea that Jesus bought them “with blood” connects the children to Christian redemption language. For a learner, the song is full of simple but meaningful religious imagery and recurring phrases that make it easy to follow and memorize.
About Himnario Adventista
Himnario Adventista is a Spanish-language Adventist hymn project, not a single mainstream pop singer. Its recordings are devotional and usually fall in Christian hymn and instrumental worship styles, aimed at church use and personal worship. The project appears on music platforms under the name "Himnario Adventista," but the available sources do not clearly identify one individual artist or a detailed personal biography.
"Himno 600 - Cuando venga Jesucristo" is hymn number 600 in the Adventist hymnal, and the Spanish version page says the lyrics are an anonymous Spanish translation of a hymn by William O. Cushing, with music by George F. Root. The song pictures children as treasured "stars" or "jewels" for Jesus, so it is often used as a gentle children's hymn about Christ’s coming and welcoming children into his kingdom. On the Adventist hymnal site, the page was posted in August 2016, which shows it is part of a long-standing hymn tradition rather than a new release.
Line highlights
"Cuando venga Jesucristo"
This means “When Jesus Christ comes.” It sets the song in an end-times or second-coming context, which is a central idea in Adventist Christianity.
"En busca de joyas"
Literally, “in search of jewels.” This is a metaphor: the “jewels” are children who belong to Jesus, showing their great spiritual value.
"Como estrellas que brillan"
“Like stars that shine” is one of the song’s main images. It suggests innocence, beauty, and visibility, and it repeats to make the message memorable.
"son los niños"
“They are the children.” This simple phrase is repeated to emphasize that the song’s praise and symbolism are specifically about children as cherished people.
"Con sangre compró"
Literally, “He bought [them] with blood.” This is a powerful Christian phrase referring to Jesus’ sacrifice, meaning he redeemed them through his death.
"Adornan al rey"
“They adorn the king.” The image means children are like ornaments or jewels on Christ’s crown, a poetic way to say they honor and delight him.
