Rejoice ‑‑ The King of Peace

Language: English after the Old French (Ancien français)

Rejoice, land of France,
See your king hastens to come
Bringing hope of greater freedom
Through his most joyous arrival.
It is he who will unite
All factions
For by right, regal honour
Must achieve this.

CONTRATENOR
  The King of Peace is exalted
  Whose appearance was awaited.
  May the King live forever!
