La procession
Language: French (Français)
Dieu s'avance à travers les champs!
Par les landes, les prés, les verts taillis de hêtres.
Il vient, suivi du peuple et porté par les prêtres:
Aux cantiques de l'homme, oiseaux, mêlez vos chants!
On s'arrête. La foule autour d'un chêne antique
S'incline, en adorant, sous l'ostensoir mystique:
Soleil! darde sur lui tes longs rayons couchants!
Aux cantiques de l'homme, oiseaux, mêlez vos chants!
Vous, fleurs, avec l'encens exhalez votre arôme!
Ô fête! tout reluit, tout prie et tout embaume!
Dieu s'avance à travers les champs.

The procession
Language: English after the French (Français)
God advances through the fields!
Through the moors, the meadows, the copses of green beech,
He comes, followed by the people and carried by the priests:
To the songs of man, birds, combine your songs!
They stop. The crowd, around an ancient oak,
bows adoringly beneath the mystical monstrance:
Sun! Shine your long pointing rays on Him!
To the songs of man, birds, combine your songs!
You, flowers, with incense exhale your aroma!
O celebration! Everything shines, everything is prayer, and everything is scent.
God advances through the fields.
