Petite chapelle
 (Sung text for setting by A. Honegger)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Peuple du Christ, j'expose en un ostensoir lourd
Ce coeur meurtri d'amour qu'un sang unique arrose
Ardente apothéose, mille cierges autour
Palpitent nuit et jour dans une brume rose,
Ainsi que nuit et jour se lamentent vers lui,
Comme vers leur idole les coeurs crevés venus
Pour ces maux inconnus dont rien, rien ne console.
