O quam suavis est, Domine, spiritus tuus,

pane suavissimo de caelo praestito,
esurientes reples bonis,
fastidiosos divites dimittens inanes.

Oh comme ton esprit est doux, Seigneur

Language: French (Français) after the Latin

Oh comme ton esprit est doux, Seigneur,
toi qui pour montrer ta douceur à tes fils
a envoyé le plus doux des pains depuis le ciel,
nourrissant les affamés avec de bonnes choses,
renvoyant les riches dédaigneux sans rien leur donner.
