Gallia

Cantata by Charles Gounod (1818 - 1893)

Jérusalem
 (Sung text for setting by C. Gounod)
 Matches original text

Language: French (Français) 
Ses tribus plaintives,
A tes temples saints ne viennent plus chanter leurs cantiques!
Ses remparts ne sont que décombres!
Ses lévites tremblent, gémissent!
Sur les fronts vierges plus de fleurs!
Son âme le plonge 
Dans la douleur sans fin;
De la tristesse le poids l'oppresse!
Les larmes brûlent ses yeux!
Jérusalem!
Reviens, reviens vers le Seigneur Dieu!
Entends un Dieu sauveur!
Tends-lui le bras, rends-lui ton coeur!
