Doux Jésus, qui de Magdeleine
Language: French (Français) 
                Doux Jésus, qui de Magdeleine
Par un regard d'amour [purifias]1 le cœur,
                De repentir [mon]2 âme pleine
Épuise à te pleurer sa brûlante langueur.
        Pour t'aimer seul, [en]3 de saintes délices,
        J'abandonnai le profane plaisir ;
        [Amant]4 divin, faut-il que tu pâlisses
        Comme un soleil que la mort vient saisir !
                Doux Jésus, qui de Magdeleine
Par un regard d'amour purifias le cœur,
                De repentir [mon]2 âme pleine
Épuise à te pleurer sa brulante langueur.
