Il est né, le divin Enfant (He Is Born)

Beautiful French Carol

He is born, the divine Christ child 
Play on the oboe and bagpipes merrily 
He is born, the divine Christ child 
Sing we all of the Saviour's birth.

Through long ages of the past 
Prophets have foretold his coming 
Through long ages of the past 
Now the time has come at last.

Oh, how lovely, oh, how pure 
Is this perfect child of heaven 
Oh, how lovely, oh, how pure 
Gracious gift of God, to man.

Jesus, Lord of all the world 
Coming as a child among us 
Jesus, Lord of all the world 
Grant to us Thy heav'nly peace.
