Joie Dans Le Monde

Representative Text

1 Joie dans le monde, c’est Noël;
Voici Emmanuel!
Que chaque cœur,
Lui fasse une demeure.
Que ciel et nature chantent

2 Joie sur la terre vive le Messie!
La loi est accomplie.
Ô humblement Jésus,
Vers nous Il est venu.
Rendez gloire au Seigneur,

3 Détournez vous de vos péchés,
Les âmes sont libérées.
Par Sa grâce et naissance,

Venez comme des enfants,
Venez comme des enfants,
Venez, venez comme des enfants.

4 Il régnera en vérité,
Et justice à jamais!
Sa victoire est totale,
Jésus vainc le mal,
Avec Son grand amour,
Avec Son grand amour,
Avec, avec Son grand amour.
