1. Oh Lord, give me a song for Vincent de Paul.

2. One that can transmit the great urgency to love

3. the imperative of serving the poorest of the poor
and the burning fire to preach the truth to them.

4. which is really prepared to give everything for love.
O Lord, give an inflamed heart
which is really prepared to give everything for love.

5. and that recognizes your presence in the poor, oh Lord.
that doesn't get tired of self-giving without measure in charity
and that recognizes your presence in the poor, oh Lord.

6. LORD, THE EARTH CRIES OF MISERY AND MISFORTUNE

7. AND SELFISHNESS INFECTS THE HEART OF HUMANITY.

8. WITH EACH INCREASE OF THOSE IN POVERTY, EACH TIME
THERE IS MORE NEED FOR THE HEART OF ST VINCENT DE PAUL.

9. and light the burning flame of love with it,
Oh Lord, give the fire of your Holy Spirit to my song
and light the burning flame of love with it,

10. that the mission of Jesus Christ to love the poorest
sprouts in each heart like a burning fire.

11. so that the zeal and fervour of Saint Vincent de Paul
O Lord, give to my song the living force of your grace
so that the zeal and fervour of Saint Vincent de Paul

12. the sweet and sacred charity that Jesus Christ showed us.
flood each heart with sacred and urgent charity,
the sweet and sacred charity that Jesus Christ showed us.

13. LORD, THE EARTH CRIES WITH MISERY AND MISFORTUNE

14. AND SELFISHNESS INFECTS THE HEART OF HUMANITY.

15. WITH EACH INCREASE OF THOSE IN POVERTY, LORD, EACH TIME,
THERE IS MORE NEED FOR THE HEART OF ST VINCENT DE PAUL.

16. LORD, THE EARTH CRIES WITH MISERY AND MISFORTUNE

17. AND SELFISHNESS INFECTS THE HEART OF HUMANITY.

18. WITH EACH INCREASE OF THOSE IN POVERTY, LORD, EACH TIME
THERE IS MORE NEED FOR THE HEART OF ST VINCENT DE PAUL.

19. Grant us, Lord, the Heart of St Vincent de Paul.
