Let us break bread together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.

Let us drink wine together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.

Let us praise God together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.

Allons rompre le pain à genoux
Quand je tombe à genoux, la face à terre
Seigneur, pitié pour moi.

Allons boire le vin à genoux ...

Louons le Seigneur à genoux ...
