Dans cette étable by François-Auguste Gevaert — Lyrics
Dans cette étable
Que Jésus est charmant
Qu’il est aimable
Dans son abaissement !
Que d’attraits à la fois !
Tous les palais des rois
N’ont rien de comparable
Aux beautés que je vois
Dans cette étable.

About Dans cette étable
Sung at Christmas, Dans cette étable is a charming French carol by François-Auguste Gevaert. The text speaks of the beauty and wonder of the infant Jesus in the stable, contrasting his humble state with the grandeur of earthly palaces. It reflects on the mystery of God’s love, with Jesus suffering for humanity to appease divine wrath and save sinners. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonies to express the tenderness and profound meaning of the nativity story, making it a fitting choice for seasonal services and concerts.
