Cantique de Jean Racine [English translation]

Word equal to God, the Almighty, our only hope,

Eternal day of the earth and heavens;

We break the silence of the peaceful night,

Divine Saviour, look upon us!

Fan the fire of your powerful grace upon us,

So that all Hell may flee at the sound of your voice;

Shake off the sleep of a languishing soul,

Who has forgotten your laws!

O Christ, be kind to these faithful people

Who have now gathered in thanks.

Listen to the chants they offer to your immortal glory,

And may they come away fulfilled with your gifts!
