3. En lisant l'Evangile  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Sur le morne gazon du Jardin des Olives, 
Le Christ agenouillé pleure comme un enfant.
-- Mon cœur d'homme coupable et baptisé se fend 
A lire le récit de ces heures plaintives. 

Mon Âme, c'est pour toi, c'est afin que tu vives,
Que ce Juste aux bourreaux livre son corps vivant
Et qu'il vient attester son Idéal, devant 
Le grand festin du monde et ses cruels convives ! 

Mon Âme, c'est sur toi que ce Juste est penché
Et sur l'obscur troupeau de tes sœurs en péché, 
Durant l'accablement de sa nuit d'agonie ! 

Pourtant, mon Âme, et vous, sœurs en anxiété, 
Vous gémissez encor dans une ombre infinie, 
Comme si tout cela n'avait jamais été !...

4. L’Idéal
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
La lune est grande, le ciel clair
Et plein d'astres, la terre est blême,
Et l'âme du monde est dans l'air.
Je rêve à l'étoile suprême.

À celle qu'on n'aperçoit pas,
Mais dont la lumière voyage 
Et doit venir jusqu'ici-bas
Enchanter les yeux d'un autre âge.

Quand luira cette étoile un jour,
La plus belle et la plus lointaine,
Dites-lui qu'elle eût mon amour,
Ô derniers de la race humaine!

  • by René-François Sully-Prudhomme (1839 - 1907), "L'Idéal", written 1865-66, appears in Stances et Poèmes, in 1. Stances, in La Vie intérieure, no. 18, Paris, Éd. Alphonse Lemerre, first published 1866
