13930. Le Ciel A Visité La Terre

1 Le ciel a visité la terre:
Emmanuel vient jusqu’à nous.
Dieu se fait homme: ô saint mystère!
Que son peuple adore à genoux!

2 Amour impossible à comprendre,
Le Fils de Dieu, le Créateur,
Vers nous, pécheurs, voulut descendre
Sous les traits du vrai Serviteur.

3 Ce grand amour qui s’humilie,
Plus bas encore est descendu:
Le Fils de l’homme offre sa vie
Et meurt pour un monde perdu!

4 Quel encens rare et sans mélange
T’offriraient les tiens en retour?
Le parfum de notre louange
N’est-il pas, Jésus, ton amour?

5 Le ciel a visité la terre:
Emmanuel vient jusqu’à nous.
Dieu se fait homme: ô saint mystère!
Que son peuple adore à genoux!
