Hosanna

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: ENG

Un homme est mort, 
Il va renaître.
Peuples chrétiens, 
Il va paraître.
Ne pleurez plus, 
Levez les yeux,
Les séraphins 
Illuminent les cieux.

Dans la sphère azurée,
C’est leur voix inspirée
Qui bénit les Seigneur
Jésus Christ rédempteur.

Ô Jésus, tu m’embrases
de célestes extases.
Je te vois, ô divin roi.
Hosanna ! gloire à toi !

La sombre nuit 
voilait encore
Du fils de Dieu 
la sainte aurore ;
Mais le soleil 
a resplendi,
Et l’univers 
se prosterne ébloui.

Au milieu des phalanges,
Des anges, des archanges,
Voyez-le s’avançant
Sublime et triomphant !

Ô Jésus, tu m’embrases...

Hosanna

Language: English after the French (Français)

A man is dead, 
he will be reborn.
Christian people, 
he will appear.
Weep no more, 
lift up your eyes,
The seraphims 
light up the skies.

Within the azure sphere
It is their inspired voice
Which blesses the Lord,
Jesus Christ, redeemer.

Oh Jesus, you set me ablaze
with heavenly ecstasy.
I see you, oh divine king.
Hosanna! glory be to you.

The dark night 
still obscured
The son of God's 
holy dawn;
But the sun 
shined,
And the universe, 
blinded, prostrated itself.

In the middle of the phalanxes,
Of the angels, the archangels,
See him advancing,
Noble and triumphant!

Oh Jesus, you set me ablaze...
