by Albert Jounet (1863 - 1923)

Gloire à Dieu
Language: French (Français) 
Au galop de nos chevaux de feu 
Entrons dans la ville aux murs d'airain, 
Et nous combattrons jusqu'à demain.
Gloire à Dieu ! Gloire à Dieu ! Gloire à Dieu ! 

Nous frapperons ta face de fer, 
Toi qui voulais braver l'Éternel ! 
Tu seras un cadavre immortel 
Que Salan rongera dans l'Enfer. 

Et nos chevaux fouleront aux pieds, 
Ville de fer, ville ivre de sang, 
Ton roi qui se croyait tout-puissant, 
Tes palais, ton peuple et tes guerriers.

Confirmed with Albert Jounet, L'Etoile sainte. Les Lys noirs, Nouvelle édition revue et augmentée, avec portrait de l'auteur, Paris, Bibliothèque Chacornac, 1905, page 39.
