НИСПОСЛАННАЯ ВСЕВЫШНИМ (ПОТОМУ). Music by Guy d'Hardelot and lyrics by Edward Teschemacher.
Recital of vocal and organ classic music performed by Gregory Martynenko and Alexander Serdiuk. March 8, 2000. State Capella of St. Petersburg. Live audio recording.
Because you come to me,
With naught but love,
And hold my hand and lift mine eyes above,
A wider world of hope and joy I see,
Because you come to me!
Because you speak to me in accent sweet,
I find the roses waking round my feet,
And I am led through tears and joy to thee,
Because you speak to me!
Because God made thee mine,
I'll cherish thee,
Through light and darkness through all time to be,
And pray His love may make our love divine,
Because God made thee mine!
French text:
Lorsque jentends ton pas, comme en un rêve
Le fol espoir de te revoir sélève,
Et vainement vers toi je tends les bras,
Quand jentends ton pas.
Et quand divinement ta voix menchaîne,
Je vois sévanouir toute ma peine,
Et tout ton être chante, et vibre en moi,
Quand jentends ta voix.
Et puis tu viens à moi et je frissonne,
Tu prends ma main, et tout mon coeur se donne
A toi en un baiser brûlant démoi,
Car tu viens à moi!
