French: 1 Louons le Créateur, chantons à Dieu louanges! Et joignons notre voix au concert de ses anges! Dès les bras maternels il nous a protégés et, jusqu'au dernier jour, il est notre berger. 2 Loué soit notre Dieu! Que notre vie entière tous nous vivions joyeux sous le regard du Père; qu'il nous tienne en sa grâce et nous guide toujours, nous garde du malheur par son unique amour. 3 De ce Dieu trois fois saint qui règne dans la gloire, chrétiens, empressons-nous de chanter la victoire; c'est lui qui nous unit et nous fait retrouver le chemin de l'amour et de la liberté.
