Vocals in French:
Chantons de voix hautaine.
En joie et tous débats.
Pour la nature humaine,
Remise en tous états.
O bonté souveraine !
Ne nous oubliez pas.
Qu'un chacun se souvienne,
Qu'elle fut mise en bas,
En prison souterraine,
Pour un mauvais repas.
O bonté…
Le serpent par sa haine
Lui dressa tel appas,
La coulpe fut soudaine,
Cause de grands débats.
Dieu pour l'ôter de peine
Et rompre tous ses lacs,
Du céleste domaine
Lui vient tendre les bras.
Il prend donc chair humaine,
Il choisit en ce cas
Une vierge d'ancienne
Race du Messias.
Gabriel pour enseigne
Lui dit : Tu concevras
Un fils, chose certaine,
Que Jésus tu nommeras.
Bien agile et bien saine,
Neuf mois le porteras,
Et sans aide mondaine,
Vierge l'enfanteras.
De terre aussi lointaine,
Survinrent à grans tas
Trois rois pour faire étrenne
Au vrai roi de Judas.
English translation:
Let us sing with lifted voices,
In joy and without quarrels.
For human nature,
Restored in every state.
O sovereign goodness!
Do not forget us.
Let everyone remember
That it had been cast down,
Into an underground prison,
Because of a wicked meal.
O goodness…
The serpent, through his hatred,
Set such a snare for her;
The fault came swiftly,
The cause of great disputes.
God, to free her from pain
And break all his bonds,
From the heavenly realm
Came to open His arms to her.
He therefore takes human flesh;
And in this matter He chooses
A virgin of ancient
Lineage of the Messiah.
Gabriel, as a sign,
Says to her: “You shall conceive
A son — this is certain —
And you shall name Him Jesus.”
Swift and in good health,
You will bear Him nine months;
And without earthly assistance,
As a virgin you will give Him birth.
From lands far away
There came in great numbers
Three kings to bring gifts
To the true king of Judah.
