Cantique de Noel

Christmas Carol

Cantique de Noel

Midnight, Christians,Minuit, chretiens
It's the solemn hourC'est l'heure solennelle
When the God-man descended to usOu l'homme dieu descendit jusqu'a nous
To erase the original sinPour effacer la tache originelle
And stop his father's wrath.Et de son pere arreter le courroux
The whole world trembles with hopeLe monde entier tressaille d'esperance
On this night that gives him a savior.En cette nuit qui lui donne un sauveur
People on your knees, await your deliverance!Peuple a genoux, attends ta delivrance!
Christmas! Christmas! Here is the redeemer!Noel! Noel! Voici le redempteur!
Christmas! Christmas! Here is the redeemer!Noel! Noel! Voici le redempteur!

The redeemerLe redempteur
Has broken every barrier:A brise toute entrave
The earth is free and the sky is open.La terre est libre et le ciel est ouvert
He sees a brother where there was only a slave;Il voit un frere ou n'etait qu'un esclave
Love unites those who were bound by iron.L'amour unit ceux qu'enchainait le fer
Who will tell him our gratitude?Qui lui dira notre reconnaissance?
It is for all of us that he is born,C'est pour nous tous qu'il nait
That he suffers and dies.Qu'il souffre et meurt
People stand up, sing your deliverance!Peuple debout, chante ta delivrance!
Christmas! Christmas! Let's sing the redeemer!Noel! Noel! Chantons le redempteur!
Christmas! Christmas! Let's sing the redeemer!Noel! Noel! Chantons le redempteur!
