Chant du séparé
 (Sung text translation for setting by J. Stuten)
 See original
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
 ... 

Et une petite lampe brille, bonté, dans son cœur
Et la paix de la cène ; car pain et vin sont sanctifiés
Par les mains de Dieu, et de ses yeux nuiteux
Le frère te regarde en silence, pour se reposer de cheminements épineux.
