Priez pour paix
Priez pour paix, douce Vierge Marie,Reine des cieux, et du monde maîtresse,Faites prier, par votre courtoisie,Saints et saintes, et prenez votre adresseVers votre Fils, requérant sa hautesseQu'il lui plaise son peuple regarder,Que de son sang a voulu racheter,En déboutant guerre qui tout dévoie;De prières ne vous veuillez lasser:Priez pour paix, le vrai trésor de joie.

Priez pour paix
Priez pour paix, douce Vierge Marie,
Reine des cieux, et du monde maîtresse,
Faites prier, par votre courtoisie,
Saints et saintes, et prenez votre adresse
Vers votre Fils, requérant sa hautesse
Qu'il lui plaise son peuple regarder,
Que de son sang a voulu racheter,
En déboutant guerre qui tout dévoie;
De prières ne vous veuillez lasser:
Priez pour paix, le vrai trésor de joie.
Pray for peace
Pray for peace, sweet Virgin Mary,
Queen of heaven and Mistress of this world,
Cause, by your courtesy, all the saints
Of either gender to pray, and address
Your Son, beseeching his high Majesty
To deign to look upon his people,
Whom he willingly redeemed with his blood,
Banishing war which ruins everything;
Pray untiringly, we beg of you:
Pray for peace, the true treasure of joy!
