discover the French version of the official anthem of the Holy Year
Jubilee 2025 obliges, the Vatican made public, a few weeks ago, the official anthem written by Pierangelo Sequeri and set to music by Francesco Meneghello. It is a polyphonic song placed under the theme of hope which would be a “flame” from which “divine life” and self-confidence springs. This hymn is inspired by verses from the book of Isaiah. Available in various languages, such as Maltese, Thai, German or Portuguese, the French version was translated and recorded by the National Liturgical and Sacramental Pastoral Service of the Conference of Bishops of France. The Pilgrim invites you to discover the text of this hymn:
Live flame, my only hope:
may my song reach you.
from your heart flows divine life,
on the road I trust in you. (refrain)
Listen to nations, languages and peoples,
in your hearts the word shines:
the nations scattered on the earth
gather in the beloved son.
Live flame, my only hope:
may my song reach you.
from your heart flows divine life,
on the road I trust in you.
The Lord is a God of tenderness,
at his voice a new day dawns.
Earth and sky are clothed with glory,
they announce justice and peace.
Live flame, my only hope:
may my song reach you.
from your heart flows divine life,
on the road I trust in you.
Get up, God is looking for disciples,
Take the wind to guide you on your way.
Don’t be afraid to follow in the footsteps
Where the friends of the Lord advance.
Live flame, my only hope:
may my song reach you.
from your heart springs divine life,
on the road I trust in you.
