Minuit, chrétiens, c'est l'heure solennelle
Où l'Homme-Dieu descendit jusqu'à nous,
Pour effacer la tache originelle,
Et de son Père arrêter le courroux
Le monde entier tressaille d'espérance,
En cette nuit qui lui donne un Sauveur
Peuple, à genoux, attends ta délivrance
Noël! Noël! Voici le Rédempteur
Noël! Noël! Voici le Rédempteur
Le Rédempteur a brisé toute entrave,
La terre est libre et le ciel est ouvert
Il voit un frère où n'était qu'un esclave,
L'amour unit ceux qui enchaînent le fer
Qui lui dira notre reconnaissance?
C'est pour nous tous qu'il naît, qu'il souffre et meurt
Peuple, debout ! Chante ta délivrance
Noël! Noël! Chantons le Rédempteur
Noël! Noël! Chantons le Rédempteur
