{{Cat|Christmas Day|Nativite - Messe du Jour by Remi Studer — Lyrics
La terre tout entière a vu le salut que Dieu nous donne.
1. Chantez au Seigneur un chant nouveau,
car il a fait des merveilles ;
par son bras très saint, par sa main puissante,
il s’est assuré la victoire.
2. Le Seigneur a fait connaître sa victoire
et révélé sa justice aux nations ;
il s’est rappelé sa fidélité, son amour,
en faveur de la maison d’Israël.
