Mon cœur est prêt, Dieu

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Mon cœur est prêt, Dieu,
Pour chanter et louer,
Réveille-toi, mon honneur.
Éveillez-vous, psaltérion et harpe,
Tôt je vous réveillerez.
Seigneur, je te remercierai parmi les peuples,
Je chanterai tes louanges parmi les peuples.
Car ta bonté est aussi vaste que le ciel
Et ta vérité est aussi vaste que ce que les nuages atteignent.
Élève-toi, Seigneur, au-dessus des cieux
Et que ton honneur soit au-dessus du monde entier.
Alleluia.
