13948. De Quelle Offense Portes-Tu La Peine?

1 De quelle offense portes-tu la peine
Quand, au supplice, les bourreaux te traînent?
Christ, le seul juste, rachetant nos crimes,
S’offre en victime.

2 Il intercède jusqu’à l’agonie,
Quand on le juge, quand on le renie,
Quand on le frappe, quand on l’abandonne:
"Père, pardonne!"

3 Oh! saint exemple qui nous humilie!
Oh! sacrifice qui nous rend la vie!
Christ est le gage de la délivrance,
Notre espérance.

4 Toi qui nous sauves, qui nous rends au Père,
Que son royaume vienne sur la terre!
Qu’il s’établisse parmi ceux qui l’aiment,
Comme au ciel même!
