Canticle to obtain the Canonization of Ven. Joan Of Arc written by: Saint Thérèse of Lisieux God of hosts, the whole Church Soon wishes to honor at the altar A martyr, a warrior virgin, Whose sweet name resounds in Heaven. Refrain 1 By Your power, O King of Heaven, Give to Joan of France The halo and the altar. Repeat A conqueror for guilty France No, that is not the object of her desire. Joan alone is capable of saving it. All heroes weigh less than a martyr! Lord, Joan is Your splendid work, A heart of fire, a warriors soul: You gave them to the timid virgin Whom You wished to crown with laurels. In her humble meadow Joan heard Voices from Heaven calling her into combat. She left to save her country. The sweet child commanded the army. She won over the souls of proud warriors The Divine luster of Heavens messenger, Her pure gaze, her fiery words Were able to make bold brows give way.... By a prodigy unique in history, People then saw a trembling monarch Regain his crown and his glory By means of a childs weak arm. It is not Joans victories We wish to celebrate this day. My God, we know her true glories Are her virtues, her love. By fighting, Joan saved France. But her great virtues Had to be marked with the seal of suffering, With the divine seal of Jesus her Spouse! Sacrificing her life at the stake, Joan heard the voice of the Blessed. She left this exile for her homeland. The savior Angel re-ascended into Heaven!... Joan, you are our only hope. From high in the Heavens, deign to hear our voices. Come down to us, come convert France. Come save her a second time.
