La Ballade de Jésus Christ

Traditional carol from Picardy performed by the Chœur Montjoie Saint-Denis.

When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left.
Then the king will say to those at his right hand, "Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me."
Then the righteous will answer him, "Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?’ And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me."
Then he will say to those at his left hand, "You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me."
Then they also will answer, "Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?"
Then he will answer them, "Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me."
And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.

- The Gospel According to Saint Matthew, Chapter 25, 31-46.
Lyrics:

Jésus-Christ s'habille en pauvre,
L'aumône va demander :
Monsieur qui êtes sur la porte
Faites-moi la charité.

Ah ! Va-t-en, coquin de pauvre,
Je n'ai rien à te donner.
Des miettes de votre table,
Je ferais bien mon dîner.

Les miettes de ma table,
Je les garde pour mes chiens :
Mes chiens m'apportent des lièvres
Toi, tu ne m'apportes rien."

Dame qui êtes en fenêtre,
Faites-moi la charité !
Entrez, entrez, mon bon pauvre.
Un bon souper trouverez.

Quand le pauvre sort de table.
Il demande à se coucher.
Montez, montez, mon bon pauvre.
Un bon lit frais trouverez.

Tout en entrant dans la chambre,
Ils ont vu grande clarté :
Oh ! Dites-moi mon bon pauvre.
La lune qui s'est levée.

Oh non, ce n'est pas la lune,
Sont vos bonnes charités :
Vos bonnes oeuvres. Madame.
Qui sont partout épanchées.

Oh ! Dites-moi, mon bon pauvre,
Vous me semblez Jésus-Christ ?
Ne craignez pas, bonne dame,
Je suis roi du Paradis.

Dans trois jours vous serez morte
En Paradis vous irez.
Mais votre mari, Madame,
En enfer ira brûler."
