La douce mémoire de Jésus

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Dering)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the Latin

La douce mémoire de Jésus
donnant la vraie joie au cœur,
mais mieux que le miel et tout

Rien de plus délicieux n'est chanté,
rien de plus plaisant n'est entendu,
rien de plus n'est pansé,
que Jésus, le fils de Dieu.
