The Huron Carol – Traditional Canadian Carol
This carol was written in 1643 by Jean de Brebuef (a Jesuit missionary) for the
Huron people of the Sainte-Marie region of Quebec.
Am G Dm Em7 Am Em7 Am 'Twas in the moon of winter-time when all the birds had fled, Am G Dm Em7 Am G Am That mighty Gitchi Manitou sent angel choirs instead; C Em Am G Am G Am E Before their light the stars grew dim, and wond’ring hunters heard the hymn: Am G F E Am Em7 Am Em Am E7 Am "Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, In excelsis gloria." Am G Dm Em7 Am Em7 Am Within a lodge of broken bark the tender Babe was found, Am G Dm Em7 Am G Am A ragged robe of rabbit skin enwrapp'd His beauty round; C Em Am G Am G Am E But as the hunter braves drew nigh, the angel song rang loud and high... Am G F E Am Em7 Am Em Am E7 Am "Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, In excelsis gloria." Am G Dm Em7 Am Em7 Am O children of the forest free, O sons of Manitou, Am G Dm Em7 Am G Am The Holy Child of earth and heaven is born today for you. C Em Am G Am G Am E Come kneel before the radiant Boy who brings you beauty, peace and joy. Am G F E Am Em7 Am Em Am E7 Am "Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, In excelsis gloria." Am G Dm Em7 Am Em7 Am The earliest moon of winter-time is not so round and fair, Am G Dm Em7 Am G Am As was the ring of glory on the helpless infant there; C Em Am G Am G Am E The chiefs from far before him knelt with gifts of fox and beaver pelt. Am G F E Am Em7 Am Em Am E7 Am "Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, In excelsis gloria."
