Aujourd'hui le Christ est né

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Sweelinck)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the Latin

Aujourd'hui le Christ est né
Aujourd'hui le Sauveur est apparu,
Aujourd'hui les anges chantent sur la terre,
Les archanges se réjouissent,
Aujourd'hui les justes se réjouissent en disant :
Gloire à Dieu au plus haut des cieux,
Et sur la terre paix aux hommes de bonne volonté.
