Les plus belles chansons de Noël

Douce nuit, sainte nuit	Il est né le divin enfant,	La marche des rois
Douce nuit, sainte nuit ! Dans les cieux ! L'astre luit. Le mystère annoncé s'accomplit Cet enfant sur la paille endormi, C'est l'amour infini ! {x2} Saint enfant, doux agneau ! Qu'il est grand ! Qu'il est beau ! Entendez résonner les pipeaux Des bergers conduisant leurs troupeaux Vers son humble berceau ! {x2} C'est vers nous qu'il accourt, En un don sans retour ! De ce monde ignorant de l'amour, Où commence aujourd'hui son séjour, Qu'il soit Roi pour toujours ! {x2} Quel accueil pour un Roi ! Point d'abri, point de toit ! Dans sa crèche il grelotte de froid O pécheur, sans attendre la croix, Jésus souffre pour toi ! {x2} Paix à tous ! Gloire au ciel ! Gloire au sein maternel, Qui pour nous, en ce jour de Noël, Enfanta le Sauveur éternel, Qu'attendait Israël ! {x2}	{Refrain:} Il est né le divin enfant, Jouez hautbois, résonnez musettes ! Il est né le divin enfant, Chantons tous son avènement ! Depuis plus de quatre mille ans, Nous le promettaient les prophètes Depuis plus de quatre mille ans, Nous attendions cet heureux temps. {au Refrain} Ah ! Qu'il est beau, qu'il est charmant ! Ah ! que ses grâces sont parfaites ! Ah ! Qu'il est beau, qu'il est charmant ! Qu'il est doux ce divin enfant ! {au Refrain} Une étable est son logement Un peu de paille est sa couchette, Une étable est son logement Pour un dieu quel abaissement ! {au Refrain} Partez, grands rois de l'Orient ! Venez vous unir à nos fêtes Partez, grands rois de l'Orient ! Venez adorer cet enfant ! {au Refrain} Il veut nos cœurs, il les attend : Il est là pour faire leur conquête Il veut nos cœurs, il les attend : Donnons-les lui donc promptement ! {au Refrain} O Jésus ! O Roi tout-puissant Tout petit enfant que vous êtes, O Jésus ! O Roi tout-puissant, Régnez sur nous entièrement ! {au Refrain}	De bon matin, J'ai rencontré le train De trois grands Rois qui allaient en voyage, De bon matin, J'ai rencontré le train De trois grands Rois dessus le grand chemin. Venaient d'abord les gardes du corps, Des gens armés avec trente petits pages, Venaient d'abord les gardes du corps Des gens armés dessus leurs just'au corps. Puis sur un char, Doré de toute part, On voittrois rois modestes comme d'anges Puis sur un char, Doré de toute part Trois rois debouts parmi les étendards. L'étoile luit Et les Rois conduit, Par longs chemins, Devant une pauvre étable, L'étoile luit Et les Rois conduit, Par longs chemins devant l'humble réduit. Au fils de Dieu Qui naquit en ce lieu Ils viennent tous présenter leurs hommages, Au fils de Dieu Qui naquit en ce lieu Ils viennent tous présenter leurs doux vœux. De beaux présent, Or, myrrhe et encens Ils vont offrir au maître tant admirable De beaux présent, Or, myrrhe et encens Ils vont offrir au bienheureux enfant.
Mon beau sapin	Noël blanc	Petit papa Noël
Mon beau sapin, roi des forêts Que j'aime ta verdure ! Quand par l'hiver, bois et guérets Sont dépouillés de leurs attraits Mon beau sapin, roi des forêts Tu gardes ta parure. Toi que Noël planta chez nous Au saint anniversaire, Mon beau sapin, comme il est doux De te voir briller par nous, {variante: Mon beau sapin, comme ils sont doux et tes bonbons et tes joujoux} Toi que Noël planta chez nous Scintillant de lumière. Mon beau sapin tes verts sommets Et leur fidèle ombrage De la foi qui ne ment jamais De la constance et de la paix. Mon beau sapin tes verts sommets M'offrent la douce image.	Oh ! quand j'entends chanter Noël J'aime revoir mes joies d'enfant Le sapin scintillant, la neige d'argent Noël mon beau rêve blanc Oh ! quand j'entends sonner au ciel L'heure où le bon vieillard descend Je revois tes yeux clairs, Maman Et je songe à d'autres Noëls blancs La nuit est pleine de chants joyeux Le bois craque dans le feu La table est déjà garnie Tout est prêt pour mes amis Et j'attends l'heure où ils vont venir En écoutant tous mes souvenirs Oh ! quand j'entends chanter Noël J'aime revoir mes joies d'enfant Le sapin scintillant, la neige d'argent Noël mon beau rêve blanc Oh ! quand j'entends sonner au ciel L'heure où le bon vieillard descend Je revois tes yeux clairs, Maman Et je songe à d'autres Noëls blancs Je revois tes yeux clairs, Maman Et je songe à d'autres Noëls blancs	C'est la belle nuit de Noël La neige étend son manteau blanc Et les yeux levés vers le ciel, A genoux, les petits enfants, Avant de fermer les paupières, Font une dernière prière. {Refrain:} Petit Papa Noël Quand tu descendras du ciel Avec des jouets par milliers N'oublie pas mon petit soulier Mais, avant de partir, Il faudra bien te couvrir Dehors tu vas avoir si froid C'est un peu à cause de moi Il me tarde tant que le jour se lève Pour voir si tu m'as apporté Tous les beaux joujoux que je vois en rêve Et que je t'ai commandés {Refrain} Le marchand de sable est passé Les enfants vont faire dodo Et tu vas pouvoir commencer Avec ta hotte sur le dos Au son des cloches des églises Ta distribution de surprises Et quand tu seras sur ton beau nuage Viens d'abord sur notre maison Je n'ai pas été tous les jours très sage Mais j'en demande pardon {Refrain} Petit Papa Noël...
Vive le Vent
Sur le long chemin Tout blanc de neige blanche Un vieux monsieur s'avance Avec sa canne dans la main Et tout là-haut le vent Qui siffle dans les branches Lui souffle la romance Qu'il chantait petit enfant : {Refrain:} Vive le vent, vive le vent Vive le vent d'hiver Qui s'en va sifflant, soufflant Dans les grands sapins verts... Oh ! Vive le temps, vive le temps Vive le temps d'hiver Boule de neige et jour de l'an Et bonne année grand-mère... Joyeux, joyeux Noël Aux mille bougies Quand chantent vers le ciel Les cloches de la nuit, Oh ! Vive le vent, vive le vent Vive le vent d'hiver Qui rapporte aux vieux enfants Leurs souvenirs d'hier... Et le vieux monsieur Descend vers le village, C'est l'heure où tout est sage Et l'ombre danse au coin du feu Mais dans chaque maison Il flotte un air de fête Partout la table est prête Et l'on entend la même chanson : {au Refrain} Boule de neige et jour de l'an Et bonne année grand-mère ! Vive le vent d'hiver !

Jingle Bells	Silent Night	Frosty The Snowman
Dashing through the snow On a one-horse open sleigh, Over the fields we go, Laughing all the way; Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight. Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride, And soon Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank; Misfortune seemed his lot; He got into a drifted bank, And we, we got upsot. Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way! Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. A day or two ago, the story I must tell I went out on the snow And on my back I fell; A gent was riding by In a one-horse open sleigh, He laughed as there I sprawling lie, But quickly drove away. Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way! Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. Now the ground is white Go it while you're young, Take the girls tonight And sing this sleighing song; Just get a bob-tailed bay two-forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! You'll take the lead. Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way! Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.	Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright. Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child. Holy infant, so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight. Glories stream from heaven afar Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia, Christ the Savior is born! Christ the Savior is born. Silent night, holy night, Son of God love's pure light. Radiant beams from Thy holy face With dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus Lord, at Thy birth. Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.	Frosty the Snowman Was a jolly happy soul With a corncob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made out of coal Frosty the Snowman Is a fairytale they say He was made of snow But the children know How he came to life one day There must have been some magic In that old silk hat they found For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around Frosty the Snowman Was alive as he could be And the children say He could laugh and play Just the same as you and me Frosty the Snowman Knew the sun was hot that day So he said let's run And we'll have some fun Now before I melt away Down to the village With a broomstick in his hand Running here and there all around the square Saying catch me if you can He led them down the streets of town Right to the traffic cop And he only paused a moment when He heard him holler stop Frosty the Snowman Had to hurry on his way But he waved goodbye Saying don't you cry I'll be back again some day Thumpety thump thump Thumpety thump thump Look at Frosty go Thumpety thump thump Thumpety thump thump Over the hills of snow
Let it snow	Merry Little Christmas	Must Be Santa
Oh, the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful And since we've no place to go, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! It doesn't show signs of stopping And I've bought some corn for popping. The lights are turned way down low. Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! When we finally kiss goodnight How I'll hate going out in the storm. But if you'll really hold me tight. All the way home I'll be warm. The fire is slowly dying And, my dear, we're still goodbye-ing But as long as you love me so Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!	Let your heart be light. From now on, our troubles Will be out of sight. Have yourself a merry little Christmas. Make the Yule-tide gay. From now on our troubles Will be miles away. Here we are as in olden days, Happy golden days of yore. Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us, once more. Through the years We all will be together If the Fates allow. Hang a shining star On the highest bough, And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.

Winter Wonderland	Santa Claus is Coming to Town	Oh Christmas Tree
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the lane, snow is glistening. It's a beautiful sight. We're happy tonight, Walking in a winter wonderland. Gone away, is the bluebird. Here to stay, is the newbird. He sings a love song As we go along, Walking in a winter wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman Then pretend that he is Parson Brown. He'll say, "Are you married?" We'll say, "No, man, But you can do the job while you're in town." Later on, we'll conspire As we dream by the fire To face unafraid, The plans that we made Walking in a winter wonderland	You better watch out, You better not cry, Better not pout, I'm telling you why: Santa Claus is coming to town. He's making a list, And checking it twice; Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice. Santa Claus is coming to town. He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good, So be good for goodness sake! Oh, you better watch out! You better not cry. Better not pout, I'm telling you why: Santa Claus is coming to town. Santa Claus is coming to town!	Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, How steadfast are your branches! Your boughs are green, in summer's clime And through the snows of wintertime. Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, How steadfast are your branches! Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, What happiness befalls me When oft at joyous Christmas-time Your form inspires my song and rhyme. Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, What happiness befalls me. Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, Your boughs can teach a lesson, That constant faith and hope sublime Lend strength and comfort through all time. Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, Your boughs can teach a lesson.
