Chorus:
He is born, the divine Child,
Play, oboe, resound, haversacks;
He is born, the divine Child;
Let us all sing of his advent!
1. For more than four thousand years,
The Prophets had promised us;
For more than four thousand years,
We have been waiting for this happy time. Chorus
2. Ah! how beautiful he is, how charming he is,
How perfect his graces are!
Ah! How beautiful he is, how charming he is,
How sweet the divine Child is! Chorus
3. A stable is his dwelling,
A little straw, his berth,
A stable is his dwelling,
For a God, what abasement! Chorus
4. O Jesus! O Almighty King!
Little child that you are,
O Jesus! O Almighty King!
Reign over us completely! Chorus
