Lyrics

Il est ne, le divin Enfant
Jouez, hautbois, resonnez, musettes;
Il est ne, le divin Enfant;
Chantons tous son avenement!
1. Depuis plus de quatre mille ans
Nous le promettaient les Prophetes;
Depuis plus de quatre mille ans
Nous attendions cet heureux temps. Chorus
2. Ah! qu’il est beau, qu’il est charmant
Que ses graces sont parfaites!
Ah! qu’il est beau, qu’il est charmant
Qu’il est doux le divin Enfant! Chorus
3. Une etable est son logement
Un peu de paille, sa couchette
Une etable est son logement
Pour un Dieu, quel abaissement! Chorus
4. O Jesus! O Roi tout puissant!
Tout petit enfant que vous etes
O Jesus! O Roi tout puissant!
Regnez sur nous entierement! Chorus

Lyrics translation

He is ne, the Divine Child
Play, oboe, resonate, musettes;
He is ne, the Divine Child;
Let's all sing his song!
1. For more than four thousand years
The prophets promised us;
For more than four thousand years
We were waiting for this happy time. Chorus
2. Ah! that he is beautiful, that he is charming
That his graces are perfect!
Ah! that he is beautiful, that he is charming
How sweet is the Divine Child! Chorus
3. A stable is his dwelling
A little straw, his bed
A stable is his dwelling
For a God, what a lowering! Chorus
4. Jesus! O king almighty!
Little child you are
Jesus! O king almighty!
Reign over us entirely! Chorus
