I
Arbre qui porte le fruit trois fois saint
Joie du ciel ! mille fois nous te louerons.
O espoir de l'humanité
Soutien des faibles
Exauce-nous.

II
Réponds à nos prières
O colonne d'ivoire, mère de Dieu !
Iris magnifique, blanc et jaune,
Reçois le chant que nous t'offrons
Viens à notre secours,
Montre-nous le fruit de ton sein.
