Épithalame
Language: French (Français) after the Latin
Veni sponsa Christi accipe coronam quam tibi Dominus praeparavit in aeternum. Alleluia. Pose moi comme un sceau sur ton cœur, comme un sceau sur ton bras: Car l’amour est fort comme la mort. La jalousie est dure comme l’enfer, une flamme de Yahvé! Les grandes eaux n’ont pu éteindre l’amour, les fleuves ne le submergeront pas ! Alleluia!
From verses 6 and 7.
