Ô Peuple Fidèle

Representative Text

1 Ô peuple fidèle,
Jésus vous appelle,
Venez, triomphants, joyeux,
Venez en ces lieux!
Ô peuple fidèle,
Venez voir le roi des cieux.
Que votre amour l’implore,
Que votre foi l’adore
Et qu’elle chante encore
Ce don précieux!

2 Quoi! dans l’humble étable,
Froide et misérable,
Des bergers le grand amour
Lui forme une cour!
Dans cette humble étable
Accourez ŕ votre tour.
Que votre amour l’implore,
Que votre foi l’adore
Et qu’elle chante encore
Sa gloire en ce jour!

3 C’est le roi des anges,
Captif dans les langes.
Splendeur pure et sans déclin
Du père divin.
C’est le roi des anges,
Voilé sous un corps humain.
Que votre amour l’implore,
Que votre foi l’adore
Et qu’elle chante encore
Son règne sans fin!

4 Il vient sur la terre
Fléchir la colère
De Dieu, notre créateur,
Sauver le pécheur.
Il vient, tel un frère,
Votre puissant Rédempteur.
Que votre amour l’implore,
Que votre foi l’adore
Et qu’elle chante encore
Jésus, le Sauveur.

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
