Le ciel a visité la terre,
Mon bien-aimé repose en moi
Du saint amour c'est le mystère !
Ô mon âme adore et tais-toi !
Amour que je ne puis comprendre,
Jésus habite dans mon cœur !
Jusques là vous pouvez descendre,
Humilité de mon sauveur !
Le ciel a visité la terre,
Mon bien-aimé repose en moi
Du saint amour c'est le mystère !
Ô mon âme adore et tais-toi!
Vous savez bien que je vous aime,
Moi, qui par vous fut tant aimé !
Que tout autre amour que vous même
Par votre feu soit consumé !
Le ciel a visité la terre,
Mon bien-aimé repose en moi
Du saint amour c'est le mystère !
Ô mon âme adore et tais-toi !
À votre chair mon âme unie
De vos élus ressent la paix
Divin Jésus, sainte harmonie,
Venez en mon cœur à jamais !
Le ciel a visité la terre,
Mon bien-aimé repose en moi
Du saint amour c'est le mystère !
Ô mon âme adore et tais-toi !

Heaven has visited earth
Language: English after the French (Français)
Heaven has visited earth,
My beloved places once again in me
The mystery of holy love!
O my soul, love and be silent!
Love which I cannot comprehend,
Jesus lives within my heart!
To that point you may descend,
Humility of my savior!
Heaven has visited earth,
My beloved places once again in me
The mystery of holy love!
O my soul, love and be silent!
You know well that I love you,
I, who by you was loved so much!
Let [a] different love than yourself
By your fire be consumed!
Heaven has visited earth,
My beloved places once again in me
The mystery of holy love!
O my soul, love and be silent!
Joined to your flesh my soul
Feels the peace of your elect;
Divine Jesus, holy harmony,
Come into my heart forever!
Heaven has visited earth,
My beloved places once again in me
The mystery of holy love!
O my soul, love and be silent!
