Il est né, le divin Enfant (English: He is born, the divine Child) is a traditional French Christmas carol, which was published for the first time in 1862 by R. Grosjean, organist of the Cathedral of Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, in a collection of carols entitled "Airs des noêl lorrains." The text of the carol was published for the first time in a collection of ancient carols, published in either 1875 or 1876 by Dom G. Legeay. The text of the carol, which is written in four stanzas, details the birth of Jesus and the wait of 4000 years for the event, as told by the prophets. It also calls on the Kings of the Orient to attend the child.(wiki)

Also known as "Now Is Born the Divine Christ Child."

He is born, the divine Christ child
Play on the oboe and bagpipes merrily
He is born, the divine Christ child
Sing we all of the Saviour's birth.
Through long ages of the past
Prophets have foretold his coming
Through long ages of the past
Now the time has come at last.
Oh, how lovely, oh, how pure
Is this perfect child of heaven
Oh, how lovely, oh, how pure
Gracious gift of God, to man.
Jesus, Lord of all the world
Coming as a child among us
Jesus, Lord of all the world
Grant to us Thy heav'nly peace.
