Iesous ahatonnia, ahatonnia. Iesous ahatonnia.
The 1926 English version by Jesse Edgar Middleton.
'Twas in the moon of winter-time
When all the birds had fled,
That mighty Gitchi Manitou
Sent angel choirs instead;
Before their light the stars grew dim,
And wandering hunters heard the hymn:
"Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born,
In excelsis gloria."
[I think I've heard it before, but not often enough. 
]
The lyrics are lovely, too

We used to sing it in choir growing up. I always liked to imagine the story taking place in our forests.
