Canadian Christmas hymn written around 1642 by Jean de Brébeuf, a Jesuit missionary at Sainte-Marie living among the Hurons in Canada. The original lyrics were written in the native language of the Huron/Wynadot people, who at the time were settled near present-day Lake Ontario. The song's melody is based on a traditional folk song, Une Jeune Pucelle.
This arrangement is for SATB a cappella. The first verse is in the original Huron language, and the subsequent verses are in English.
