O Jesu Christ, wir warten dein

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

O Jesu Christ, wir warten dein,
dein heiliges Wort leucht uns so fein.
Am End der Welt bleib nicht lang aus
und führ uns in deins Vaters Haus.

Du bist die liebe Sonne klar,
wer an dich glaubt, der ist fürwahr
ein Kind der ewigen Seligkeit,
die deinen Christen ist bereit.

Wir danken dir, wir loben dich
hie zeitlich und dort ewiglich
für deine große Barmherzigkeit
von nun an bis in Ewigkeit.

Ô Jésus‑Christ, nous attendons

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Ô Jésus-Christ, nous attendons que,
que ta sainte parole nous éclaire.
À la fin du monde n'attends pas longtemps
et conduis-nous dans la maison de ton père.

Tu es notre cher soleil clair,
Celui qui croit en toi est en effet
un enfant de la béatitude éternelle,
qui est prêt pour tes chrétiens.

Nous te remercions, nous te louons
ici en ce temps et pour toujours
pour ta grande miséricorde
à partir de maintenant et pour l'éternité.
