Our translations:  ENG FRE
Von Gott kömmt mir ein Freudenschein,
Wenn du mit deinen Äugelein
Mich freundlich tust anblicken.
O Herr Jesu, mein trautes Gut,
Dein Wort, dein Geist, dein Leib und Blut
Mich innerlich erquicken.
Nimm mich
Freundlich
In dein Arme, dass ich warme werd von Gnaden:
Auf dein Wort komm ich geladen.

Choral. Une lumière joyeuse vient de Dieu à moi
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Une lumière joyeuse vient de Dieu à moi,
Quand avec vos chers yeux
Tu me regardes amicalement.
O Seigneur Jésus, mon bien-aimé,
Ta parole, ton esprit, ton corps et ton sang
Me rafraîchissent à l'intérieur.
Prends-moi
Amicalement
Dans tes bras, pour que je puisse être réchauffé par ta grâce :
À ta parole j'arrive invité.
