Representative lyrics
French (Original Language)
1. Les anges dans nos campagnes Ont entonné le chant des cieux; Et l’écho de nos montagnes reprend cet air mélodieux:
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
2. Bergers, pour qui cette fête? Quel est l’objet de tous ces chants? Quel vainqueur, quelle conquête Mérite ces cris triomphants?
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
3. Ils annoncent la naissance Du Rédempteur, Roi d’Israël Et, dans sa reconnaissance, La terre chante avec le ciel:
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
4. Bergers, loin de vos retraites Unissez-vous à leurs concerts Et que vos tendres musettes Fassent retentir dans les airs:
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
5. Cherchons tous l’heureux village Qui l’a vu naître sous ses toits, Offrons-lui le tendre hommage Et de nos cœurs et de nos voix!
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
English
1. Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o’er the plains, And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
2. Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heav’nly song?
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
3. Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
