Ouverture

Les bergers se rassemblent devant l'étable de Bethléem Adieux des bergers à la Sainte Famille Cœur des Bergers Il s'en va loin de la terre Où dans l'étable il vit le jour. De son père et de sa mère Qu'il reste le constant amour! Qu'il grandisse, qu'il prospère Et qu'il soit bon père à son tour! Oncques si, chez l'idolâtre, II vient à sentir le malheur, Fuyant la terre marâtre. Chez nous qu'il revienne au bonheur! Que le pauvreté du pâtre Reste toujours chère à son coeur! Cher enfant, Dieu te bénisse! Dieu vous bénisse, heureux époux! Que jamais de l'injustice Vous ne puissiez sentir les coups! Qu'un bon ange vous avertisse Des dangers planant sur vous! Le repos de la Sainte Famille Le récitant Les pèlerins étant venus En un lieu de belle apparence, Où se trouvaient arbres touffus Et de l'eau pure en abondance, Saint Joseph dit: «Arrêtez-vous! Près de cette claire fontaine. Après si longue peine Ici reposons-nous» L'enfant Jésus dormait. Pour lors Saint Marie, Arrêtant l'âne, répondit: "Voyez ce beau tapis d'herbe douce et fleurie, Le Seigneur pour mon fils au désert retendit». Puis s'étant assis sous l'ombrage De trois palmiers au vert feuillage, L'âne paissant, l'enfant dormant, Les sacrés voyageurs quelque temps sommeillèrent, Bercés par des songes heureux, Et les anges du ciel, à genoux autour d'eux, Le divin enfant adorèrent. Cœur des Anges Alleluia! Alleluia!

Ouverture

Pastori riuniti davanti alla stalla di Betlemme Addio dei pastori alla Santa Famiglia Coro dei pastori Egli se ne va lontano dalla terra dove, nella stalla, è venuto alla luce. Che gli resti l'amore costante di suo padre e sua madre! Che possa crescere e prosperare e che, quando toccherà a lui, sia un buon padre! Se presso l'idolatra avvertirà di essere infelice che fugga dalla terra matrigna e ritrovi da noi la felicità! Che la povertà del pastore rimanga sempre cara al suo cuore! Caro bambino, ti benedica Dio! E benedica anche voi, sposi felici! Che mai l'ingiustizia possa abbattervi con i suoi colpi! Che un angelo buono vi avverta in tempo dei pericoli che su voi incombono! Il riposo della Santa Famiglia Il narratore I pellegrini erano giunti in un luogo ameno pieno di alberi frondosi e ricco di acqua pura; San Giuseppe allora disse: "Fermatevi! Accanto a questa limpida fonte. Dopo tanto soffrire qui riposeremo un poco". Il piccolo Gesù dormiva. Allora Santa Maria, fermando l'asino, rispose: "Vedete quel tappeto d'erba tenera e fiorita, il Signore lo ha steso, nel deserto, per mio figlio". Poi si sedettero all'ombra di tre palme dal verde fogliame, l'asino pascolava, il bimbo dormiva, I santi viaggiatori si abbandonarono al sonno, cullati da sogni felici, e gli angeli del cielo, in ginocchio là intorno, adorarono il divino bambino. Coro degli angeli Alleluia! Alleluia!
