Note: Dating to the time of the French Protestant Reformation, this hymn is a standard in many Protestant churches. Since the original harmonization by Claude Le Jeune (c. 1528 – 1600) put the melody in the tenor, I have given it initially to the lower line, moving it to viola 1 for the second strain. The harmonies are based on those of Le Jeune.
