An ancient Christmas carol based on a poem by Placide Cappeau (1808-1877) and set to music by Adolphe Adam in 1847. I do apologize for my French, which is probably worst than my English, if possible. (Thanks Raymond, as usual). And here are the lyrics.

Minuit Chrétiens c'est l'heure solennelle
Où l'homme Dieu descendit jusqu'à nous.
Pour effacer la tache originelle
Et de son père arrêter le courroux.
Le Monde entier tressaille d'espérance
A cette nuit qui lui donne un sauveur:
Peuple à genoux attends ta délivrance
Noël, Noël voici le Rédempteur

Le Rédempteur a brisé toute entrave
La terre est libre et le ciel est ouvert
Il voit un frère où n'était qu'un esclave
L'amour unit ceux qu'enchaînait le fer.
Qui lui dira notre reconnaissance
C'est pour nous tous qu'il naît, qu'il souffre et meurt
Peuple debout chante ta délivrance :
Noël, Noël chantons le rédempteur
