L'esprit saint
Language: French (Français) 
Quel feu s'allume dans mon coeur!
Quel Dieu vient habiter mon âme!
A son aspect consolateur,
Et je m'éclaire et je m'enflamme!
Ah! viens-je t'adore!
Esprit créateur!
Un jour plus pur luit à mes yeux,
Dieu de clarté, je t'en rends grâce!
Je vois fuir l'esprit ténébreux;
La foi dans mon coeur prend sa place:
Tous mes désirs sont pour les cieu!

Je vois mille ennemis divers
Conjurer ma perte éternelle;
J'entends tous leurs complots pervers:
Dieu, romps leur trame criminelle;
Qu'ils retombent dans les enfer!
Règne à jamais, O Dieu d'amour!
Sur ce coeur qui devient ton temple!
Que je t'honore dès ce jour:
Que mon oeil charmé te contemple
Dans l'éclat du divin séjour!
