 (Sung text for setting by C. Widor)
 Matches original text
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
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 !
