by Antoine de Chandieu (1534 - 1591)

Quand ie li, quand ie contemple
Language: French (Français)

Quand ie li, quand ie contemple
L'état de cet heureux temple
Que Christ en terre a planté,
Courant par le Monde enté

Sur l'ordure et la malice,
Ie devient triste et joyeux;
I'embrasse et chasse le vice;
Ie quitte et cherche les cieux.
