He is born, the holy Child,
play the oboe and bagpipes merrily!
He is born, the holy Child,
sing we all of the Savor mild.

Prophets have foretold His coming;
Through long ages of the past,
Now the time has come at last! [Refrain]

Is this perfect child of heaven;
O how lovely, O how pure,
Gracious gift to humankind! [Refrain]

Coming as a child among us,

Grant to us Thy heav'nly peace. [Refrain]

Refrain:
Il est né, le divin Enfant,
jouez hautbois rèsonnez musettes!
Il est né, le divin Enfant,
chantons tous son avènement!
1 Depuis plus de quatre mille ans
Nous le promettaient les prophètes,
Depuis plus de quatre mille ans
Nous attendions cet heureux temps. [Refrain]
2 Ah! qu’il est beau, qu’il est charmant,
Ah! que ses grâces sont parfaites!
Ah! qu’il est beau, qu’il est charmant,
Qu’il est doux, ce divin Enfant! [Refrain]
3 Ô Jésus! Ô Roi tout-puissant,
Si petit Enfant que vous êtes,
Ô Jésus! Ô Roi tout-puissant,
Régnez sur nous entièrement. [Refrain]
