VOLUNTARY

PRELUDE & FUGUE IN C, BWV 545 J.S. BACH

Hallelujah. Louez le Dieu, caché dans ses saints tabernacles, Louez le Dieu qui règne en son immensité. Louez-le dans sa force et ses puissants miracles. Louez-le dans sa gloire et dans sa majesté. Louez-le par la voix des bruyantes trompettes. Que pour lui le nébel se marie au kinnor. Louez-le dans vos fêtes au son du tambourin, sur l’orgue et sur le luth, chantez, chantez encor. Que pour lui dans vos mains résonne la cymbale aux accords éclatants et joyeux. Que tout souffle vivant, tout soupir qui s’exhale dise : louange à lui, louange au Roi des cieux. Louez-le dans vos fêtes, chantez, chantez toujours. Hallelujah.

Alleluia. O praise God in his holiness: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him in his noble acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him in the sound of the trumpet: praise him upon the lute and harp. Praise him in the cymbals and dances: praise him upon the strings and pipe. Praise him upon the well-tuned cymbals: praise him upon the loud cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath, let every thing say: praise the Lord, praise the King of heaven. Praise him in all his feasts: sing, always sing. Alleluia.
