depuis plus de quatre mille ans
nous attendions cet heureux temps! [Refrain]

un peu de paille est sa couchette.

He is born, little Child divine;
join to song to announce the day.

prophets have foretold his coming;
thru long ages of the past,
now the time has come at last! [Refrain]

gracious gift to humankind! [Refrain]

laid on straw for his infant cradle.
Lowly lodged in a stable poor,
God come down to our mortal aid. [Refrain]

coming as a child among us,
Jesus, Lord of all the world,
grant to us your heavenly peace. [Refrain]

Author of "Il est né" In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
