This is a SATB choir arrangement of one of my favourite French hymns, "Souviens-toi." The original melody is a theme by the composer Antonin Dvořák, from the 2nd movement of his "New World" symphony, and the tune is also used for the hymn "Goin' Home." I also included a nod to "O My Father" as an interlude, since the words share a similar theme. All these hymns are about the wonder of our heavenly home, and the hope that we can return there one day.
This arrangement is also available for solo piano or solo voice with piano accompaniment.
Lyrics: Souviens-toi, mon enfant: Tes parents divins
Te serraient dans leurs bras, ce temps n'est pas loin.
Aujourd'hui, tu es là, présent merveilleux,
Ton regard brille encore du reflet des cieux.
Parle-moi, mon enfant, de ces lieux bénis
Car pour toi est léger le voile d'oubli.
Souviens-toi, mon enfant des bois, des cités.
Pouvons-nous ici-bas les imaginer?
Et le ciel jusqu'au soir, est-il rose ou gris?
Le soleil attend-il la neige ou la pluie?
Con-te-moi, mon en-fant, la couleur des près
Et le chant des oiseaux d'un monde oublié.
Souviens-toi, mon enfant: À l'aube des temps,
Nous étions des amis jouant dans le vent.
Puis un jour, dans la joie nous avons choisi
D'accepter du Seigneur le grand plan de vie.
Ce soir-là, mon enfant, nous avons promis
Par l'amour, par la foi, d'être réunis.
