Representative Text

1 L’église universelle
a pour roc Jésus-Christ;
Elle est l’oeuvre nouvelle
que sa parole fit,
Habitant le ciel même,
Il vint se l’attacher,
Et, par un don suprême,
mourut pour la sauver!

2 L’église en sa prière
unit à leur Sauveur
Les peuples de la terre
soumis au seul Seigneur.
C’est Son Nom qu’elle acclame,
Son pain, qui la nourrit;
Elle verse à toute âme
l’espoir qui la guérit.

3 Honnie et méconnue,
menant de durs combats,
Elle attend la venue
de la paix ici-bas.
Contemplant par avance
La fin de son tourment,
La grande délivrance,
le repos permanent.

4 Aujourd’hui, sur la terre,
elle est unie à Dieu,
Et, par un saint mystère,
aux élus du saint lieu.
Rends-nous, comme eux, fidèles,
Et reçois-nous, Seigneur,
Dans la vie éternelle,
dans l’éternel bonheur!
