Advent hymn

I've been really sick yesterday. Still fever and weakness. I'm really sorry to be sick, we had great plans for the week end: preparing costumes for a nativity scene with the CCD kids, Christmas party with the young couples of Phil's Church yesterday, and ecumenical discussion today after service... And I'm in bed for 2 days instead, sleeping hours in a row!
Singing makes me feel better, not too much singing but just a slow rhythm, like an advent hymn :)
here is my favorite one:

Vienne la rosée sur la terre,

Naisse l'espérance en nos cœurs,

Brille dans la nuit la lumière :

Bientôt va germer le Sauveur.

Au désert un cri s'élève:

Préparez les voies du Seigneur

Berger d'Israël, tends l'oreille,

Descends vite à notre secours;

Et nos yeux verront tes merveilles,

Nos voix chanteront ton amour.

Fille de Sion, tressaille,

Le Seigneur déjà vient vers toi.

Réveille, ô Seigneur, ta vaillance

Établis ton règne de paix;

Que les peuples voient ta puissance,

Acclament ton Nom à jamais.

L'univers attend ta gloire,

Et nous préparons ton retour.

Come the dew on earth,
Let hope be born in our hearts,
Shine the light in the darkness,
Soon our Savior will raise.
In the desert a cry is heard:
Prepare the ways of the Lord.

Isreal's Shephard listen
and come quick to our rescue
and our eyes will see your wonders
our voices will sing your Love.
Daughter of Sion leap with joy
The Lord is already coming to you.

O Lord wake up your strength,
Come your reign of Peace,
May the nations see your might,
sing praise to your name forever.
The world is awaiting your glory,
and we are preparing for your return.

The melody is so beautiful. I know there is an hymn in english that goes on the same tune, but I don't remember its name...
I'll look into it when I feel better.
In the meantime you can enjoy the rorate caeli... :)
