Comme un enfant, ô divin Père
Language: French (Français)
Comme un enfant, ô divin Père,
Je veux t'invoquer. Ma prière
Monte vers toi !
Répands, de ta main paternelle,
Beaucoup de ton bonheur sur Elle ;
Un peu sur moi !
Que son âme vers toi s'élance,
Et qu'Elle vive en ta présence,
Suivant ta loi !
Quand son amour à toi s'élève,
Fais-en retomber, comme un rêve,
Un peu sur moi !

Like a child, o Divine Father
Language: English after the French (Français)
Like a child, o Divine Father,
I want to call you. My prayer
rises to you!
With your fatherly hand,
spread most of your happiness on her;
and a little on me!
Let her soul soar to you,
and let her live in your presence,
following your law!
When her love rises to you,
let a little fall on me,
like a dream!
