by Jean-François-Victor Aicard (1848 - 1921)

Le noël des humbles
Language: French (Français) 
L'enfant est nu;
Tout un peuple est venu
Dans l'étable,
L'âne est joyeux
Et le bœuf aux grands yeux,
Charitable.
Noël ! Noël ! Noël ! Noël !
Jésus en pleurs
Vient souffrir nos malheurs:
Il soupire...
Lors, un berger
Chante pour l'obliger
A sourire.
Noël ! Noël ! Noël ! Noël !
Toc, toc, dehors,
C'est, portant des trésors
En hommages,
Trois rois puissants,
L'or, la myrrhe et l'encens,
Les rois mages.
Noël ! Noël ! Noël ! Noël !
Mais le berger,
Qu'il faudrait déranger,
Chante et prie..
« Eh bien, les rois
Attendront tous les trois, »
Dit Marie.
Noël ! Noël ! Noël ! Noël !
