1 Chantez toujours en Son honneur,
Alléluia, alléluia!
Car c’est Lui seul qu’il faut louer,
Il donne au soleil sa clarité,
Rendez gloire, rendez gloire,
Alléluia, alléluia, alléluia!

2 Dieu, sois loué pour le soleil,
Pour ce grand frère sans pareil,
Alléluia, alléluia!
Et pour la lune et sa lueur,
Pour chaque étoile notre soeur,
Rendons gloire, alléluia!

3 Loué sois-tu pour sire feu,
Vivant, robuste, glorieux,
Alléluia, alléluia!
La terre, en maternelle soeur,
Nous comble de ses mille fleurs,
Rendons gloire, alléluia!

4 Heureux les artisans de paix,
Leur nom soit béni à jamais,
Alléluia, alléluia!
Ceux qui ont souffert et pâti,
Ils te remettent leurs soucis,
À toi montent leurs louanges, alléluia!

5 Dieu trois fois saint, nous Te louons,
Nous Te chantons, nous T’adorons,
Alléluia, alléluia!
Gloire au Père et louange au Fils,
Et loué soit le Saint-Esprit,
Rendons gloire, alléluia!
