Lyrics
  • Joan of Arc They are Calling You. Verse: While you are sleeping, Your France is weeping, Wake from your dreams, Maid of France. Her heart is bleeding
  • Are you unheeding? Come with the flame in your glance
  • Through the Gates of Heaven, With your sword in hand, Come your legions to command. Refrain: Joan of Arc, Joan of Arc, Do your eyes, from the skies, see the foe? Don’t you see the drooping Fleur-de-lis? Can’t you hear the tears of Normandy? Joan of Arc, Joan of Arc, Let your spirit guide us through
  • Come lead your France to victory
  • Joan of Arc, they are calling you. Verse: Alsace is sighing, Lorraine is crying, Their mother, France, looks to you. Her sons at Verdun
  • Bearing the burden, Pray for your coming anew
  • At the Gates of Heaven, Do they bar your way? Souls that passed through yesterday. Refrain
