"Il est né, le divin Enfant" (English: He is born, the divine Child) is a traditional French Christmas carol, which was published for the first time in 1862 by R. Grosjean, organist of the Cathedral of Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, in a collection of carols entitled "Airs des Noëls lorrains." The text of the carol was published for the first time in a collection of ancient carols, published in either 1875 or 1876 by Dom G. Legeay.

The lyrics

The text of the carol,[1] which is written in four stanzas, details the birth of Jesus and the wait of 4000 years for the event, as told by the prophets. It both observes the humility of God's birth in a stable and calls on the Kings of the Orient to attend the child.

Chorus:

Il est né le divin enfant,

Jouez hautbois, résonnez musettes !

Il est né le divin enfant,

Chantons tous son avènement !

Depuis plus de quatre mille ans,

Nous le promettaient les prophètes

Depuis plus de quatre mille ans,

Nous attendions cet heureux temps.

Chorus

Ah ! Qu'il est beau, qu'il est charmant !

Ah ! que ses grâces sont parfaites !

Ah ! Qu'il est beau, qu'il est charmant !

Qu'il est doux ce divin enfant !

Chorus

Une étable est son logement

Un peu de paille est sa couchette,

Une étable est son logement

Pour un dieu quel abaissement !

Chorus

Partez, grands rois de l'Orient !

Venez vous unir à nos fêtes

Partez, grands rois de l'Orient !

Venez adorer cet enfant !

Chorus

Il veut nos cœurs, il les attend :

Il est là pour faire leur conquête

Il veut nos cœurs, il les attend :

Donnons-les lui donc promptement !

Chorus

O Jésus ! O Roi tout-puissant

Tout petit enfant que vous êtes,

O Jésus ! O Roi tout-puissant,

Régnez sur nous entièrement !

Chorus

English Version

The text of the carol has been translated into English numerous times. One translation (close in meaning and keeping to the original meter) is by Edward Bliss Reed (1930):[2]

Chorus:

He is born, the Heav'nly Child,

Oboes play; set bagpipes sounding

He is born, the Heav'nly Child.

Let all sing His nativity.


'Tis four thousand years and more,

Prophets have foretold His coming,

'Tis four thousand years and more,

Have we waited this happy hour. Chorus


Ah, how lovely, Ah, how fair,

What perfection is His graces,

Ah, how lovely, Ah, how fair.

Child divine, so gentle there. Chorus


In a stable lodged is He,

Straw is all He has for cradle.

In a stable lodged is He,

Oh how great humility! Chorus


Jesus Lord, O King with power,

Though a little babe You come here,

Jesus Lord, O King with power,

Rule o'er us from this glad hour. Chorus
