Adieu des bergers à la sainte famille - from l'Enfance du Christ.
- Il s’en va loin de la terre
- Où dans l’étable il vit le jour.
- De son père et de sa mère
- Qu’il reste le constant amour,
- Qu’il grandisse, qu’il prospère
- Et qu’il soit bon père à son tour.
- Oncques si, chez l’idolâtre,
- Il vient à sentir le malheur,
- Fuyant la terre marâtre,
- Chez nous qu’il revienne au bonheur.
- Que la pauvreté du pâtre
- Reste toujours chère à son cœur.
- Cher enfant, Dieu te bénisse!
- Dieu vous bénisse, heureux époux!
- Que jamais de l’injustice
- Vous ne puissiez sentir les coups.
- Qu’un bon ange vous avertisse
- Des dangers planant sur vous.
English translation
- Thou must leave thy lowly dwelling,
- The humble crib, the stable bare.
- Babe, all mortal babes excelling,
- Content our earthly lot to share.
- Loving father, Loving mother,
- Shelter thee with tender care!
- Blessed Jesus, we implore thee
- With humble love and holy fear.
- In the land that lies before thee,
- Forget not us who linger here!
- May the shepherd's lowly calling,
- Ever to thy heart be dear!
- Blest are ye beyond all measure,
- Thou happy father, mother mild!
- Guard ye well your heav'nly treasure,
- The Prince of Peace, The Holy Child!
- God go with you, God protect you,
- Guide you safely through the wild!
