Oh viens bientôt Emmanuel Explanation: Indeed, I have often found the three verses but the eight ones are a different matter. Here is one among others for three verses http://www.granby.net/~santschi/cantiques/pc253.htm , in case they would not be covering the three you already got. So far the best results I have had were using Yahoo. Try and put the entire text through the search engine, you could get a better result. I have found some info on the song which could help but my ISP is playing up right now and it's high time I should be in bed, so try too the search in English with O comme Emmanuel, there was one page there among the top ones giving info as to the library in which the original French text was kept, so searching for this library could lead you to an answer. Hopefully. Otherwise, simpler, why not try your local Christian church or monastery. Whether you are located in a French speaking country or not, a reasonnable church would be able to produce or tell you where to get it. Good luck, it's 6 AM and I am not too much in need of sleep to think of anything else which could be of any help to you. I'll try later on if no-one has been suggesting anything better. If so, could you please email me the full text? Thank you. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-23 04:10:06 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Last, on http://fr.google.yahoo.com/bin/query_fr?p=o viens bient�t emman... you will see a list of artists having sang it, so if you can have a look at a local shop or online at the stated lyrics. I remember seeing (in the O COME EMMANUEL search this time) at the top of the list, an artist (maria something perhaps) where it was stated that in her CD, the lyrics were given in French and in English, but I haven\'t had time to look on the net for the usual music shops where one can listen to the songs online. A fan club of this woman would be likely to provide you the lyrics too. Viel Glück ! |

peer agreement (net): +2Oh! viens bientôt, Emmanuel Explanation: Voici 8 strophes qui sont chantées dans l'Eglise Evangélique Réformée en France: 1) Oh! viens bientôt, Emmanuel, Nous délivrer du joug cruel, Et du péché briser la loi, Ton peuple entier s'attend à toi Refrain: 2) Oh! viens bientôt, que ta clarté Dissipe nos obscurités, Errants et tristes dans la nuit. Nous appelons le jour qui luit. Refrain: 3) Oh! viens bientôt, descends vers nous, Saint Fils du ciel, aimant et doux. Aux coeurs troublés apporte donc La paix divine du pardon. Refrain: 4) Oh! viens bientôt puissant Sauveur, Nous réveiller de nos langueurs! Il n'est que toi, céleste Pain, Qui puisse apaiser notre faim. 5) Oh! viens, Jésus, oh! viens, Emmanuel, Nous dévoiler le monde fraternel, Où ton amour plus fort que la mort, Nous régénère au sein d'un même corps. Refrain: 6) Oh! viens, Berger que Dieu nous a promis, Entends au loin ton peuple aui gémit; Dans la violence il vit son exil, De ses souffrances, quand renaîtra-t-il? Refrain: 7) Oh! viens, Jésus, et dans la chair blessée, Fleuris pour nous, racine de Jessé. Près de l'eau vive, l'arbre planté Soulève jusqu'à Dieu le monde entier. Refrain: 8) Oh! viens, Jésus, tracer notre chemin; Visite-nous, Etoile du matin. Au fond de nos regards fais monter L'éclat soudain du jour d'éternité. Refrain: Il y a deux refrains que j'ai trouvés: 1/ "Chantez! chantez! il vient à notre appel, combler nos coeurs Emmanuel." 2/ "Joyeux, levez les yeux au ciel, Voici venir Emmanuel!" Il y a deux personnes citées pour la traduction des paroles du latin: H. Ecuyer. et Fr. Pierre-Yves. Le cantique se trouve dans les recueils "Les Ailes de la Foi" et dans "L'Arc en Ciel". Par contre, je n'ai trouvé aucun site sur le web avec toutes ces paroles. J'espère que c'est un peu d'aide pour vous! |
