Hymnal: Saint Jean de Brébeuf Hymnal for Both Forms of the Roman Rite #662 (2018) First Line: Upon the birth of Jesus take heart, you mortals all Refrain First Line: Jesous ahatonnia Lyrics: 1. Upon the birth of Jesus take heart, you mortals all!
Lo, banished is the spirit that kept us in its thrall!
To it no longer hearken, that strives our minds to darken.
Jesous ahatonnia, Jesous ahatonnia, Jesous ahatonnia.
2, We tidings have by spirits from heav'nly homeland sent.
Our heralds bid us revel in lavish merriment.
Lo, Mary is a mother: exult as for none other.
Jesous ahatonnia, Jesous ahatonnia, Jesous ahatonnia.
3, To him, our tribute bear we, before him bending low,
abundant homage do him, who mercy comes to show!
His love such good affords us, his kinship who awards us
Jesous ahatonnia, Jesous ahatonnia, Jesous ahatonnia. Tune Title: UNE JEUNE PUCELLE
