| Douce nuit | Sweet night |
| Sainte nuit | Holy night |
| Dans les cieux | In the heavens |
| L’astre luit. | The star shines. |
| Le mystère annoncé | The mystery announced |
| s’accomplit | is fulfilled |
| Cet enfant | This child |
| sur la paille endormi, | on the straw asleep, |
| C’est l’amour infini ! | Is the infinite love ! |
| C’est l’amour infini ! | Is the infinite love ! |
| Doux enfant, | Sweet child, |
| doux agneau ! | sweet lamb ! |
| Qu’il est saint ! | How holy he is! |
| Qu’il est beau ! | How handsome he is ! |
| Entendez résonner | Hear resonating |
| les pipeaux | the pipes |
| Des bergers conduisant | Shepherds leading |
| leurs troupeaux | their flocks |
| Vers son humble berceau ! | Towards his humble cradle! |
