W:Shephers why this jubille?
W:Why your joyous strains prolong?
W:What the gladsome tidings be,
W:Which inspire your heavnly song?

W:Come, to Bethlehem, and see
W:Him whose birth the angels sing;
W:Come, adore on bended knee,
W:Christ the Lord, the new born King.
W:
W:See him in a manger laid, 
W:Whom the choirs of angels praise;
W:Mary, Joseph lend your aid,
W:While our hearts in love we raise.

W:Quel est l'objet de tous ces chant?
W:Quel vainqueur, quelle conquête
W:Mérite ces cris triomphants?

W:Ils annoncent la naissance
W:Du Libérateur d'Israël,
W:Et pleins de reconnaissance
W:Chantent en ce jour solennel.
