Il faut que de tous mes esprits
Ton los et pris, j'exalte et prise
Devant les grands me présenter
pour te chanter j'ai fait emprise
Et ton saint temple adorerai
Célèbrerai ta renommée
Pour l'amour de ta grand' bonté
Et féauté tant estimée.

Language: English  after the French (Français)
I will with my whole heart give thanks,
and exalt and praise Thee.
Before the gods I declare that
I have dedicated myself to sing to Thee.

for the love of Your great bounty
and faithfulness so greatly esteemed.
