Prière devant le repas | Prayer before meals |
| | |
O Souverain Pasteur, et Maistre, | O Sovereign Shepherd and Master, | |
Regarde ce trouppeau petit, | Upon this flock direct Your sight, | |
Et de tes biens souffre le paistre, | And suffer us without disaster | |
Sans desordonné appetit, | To graze with peaceful appetite, | |
Nourrissant petit à petit | And nourish slowly, bite by bite, | |
A ce jour d'huy ta creature, | This little body, Your creation, | |
Par celluy qui pour nous vestit | I pray through Him who left Your light | |
Ung corps subject à nourriture. | And hunger felt for our salvation. | |
