14069. Petite Ville, Bethléem

1 Petite ville, Bethléem, tu dors tranquillement
Sur ton sommeil, l’étoile d’or se lève au firmament.
Sa lumière éternelle nous apporte la joie.
Oui, la réponse à nos appels, ce soir se trouve en toi.

2 Car Jésus de Marie est né, et tandis que tout dort,
Les anges là-haut assemblés chantent leurs doux accords.
Proclamez sa naissance, étoiles du matin!
Apportant la paix et l’amour, voici l’Enfant divin.

3 Ah! qu’il fut donné simplement ce présent merveilleux!
Ainsi Dieu bénit les humains en leur ouvrant les cieux.
Nul n’entend sa venue dans ce monde pécheur.
Mais Jésus entre, bienvenu, dans les plus humbles coeurs.
