Cantique de Noel

http://www.info-bible.org/chants/cd_noel.htm

Minuit Chretiens

Verse 1

                  Minuit, chrétiens, c’est l’heure solennelle   

Où l’Homme-Dieu descendit jusqu’à nous,

Pour effacer la tache originelle,

Et de son Père arrêter le courroux.

Le monde entier tressaille d’espérance,

À cette nuit qui lui donne un Sauveur.

Refrain: Peuple, à genoux, attends ta deliverance

Noël! Noël! Voici le Rédempteur!

Noël! Noël! Voici le Rédempteur!
