                 Faisons valoir la grace

                 Le temps est precieux

                 Ouvrez devant nos yeux —

                           Tout passe —

                 Les champs, les rangs

                 Les petits et les grands —

                           Tout passe —

                 D'autres frequent la place

                 Et s'en vout a leur tour

                 Dans a mortel sejour

                           Tout passe.




III.

                           Vive Jesus

                           Vive Jesus

                 Avec la croix son chere portage —

                          Vive Jesus

                 Dans la coeurs de tous les elus —

                 Sa croix de son coeur — est le gaye —

                 Futil au plus bel heritage

                           Vive Jesus —

                 Portens la croix —

                 Sans choix, sans ennuie, sans murmure.

                           Portens la croix —

                 Quand nous en servons aux choix

                 Quoique tres amere et tres dure —

                 Malgre le sous et la nature

                                Portens la croix.

      In the first place it must be allowed that the causes which have retarded the settlements have been owing, principally, to the disturbances given by the Indian enemy. The advantage a wild people having no settlement or place of abode, but wandering from place to place in unknown and, therefore, inaccessible woods, is so great that it has hitherto rendered all attempts to surprise them ineffectual;
