The Huron Carol, being the first Christmas carol written in North America, was penned somewhere around 1642 by missionary Jean de Brebeuf, a Jesuit living among the Huron/Wendat people of the Great Lakes. He took a French tune and wrote words in Huron that would help teach Advent to them. It's a beautiful song, though in the early 1900s other words were written that are not an actual translation of the original. Here's the original and a fair translation:

Translation:

Have courage, you who are humans. Jesus, He is born.Behold, it has fled, the spirit who had us as prisoner.Do not listen to it, as it corrupts our minds, the spirit of our thoughts.Jesus He is born

They are spirits, coming with a message for us, the sky people.They are coming to say, 'Come on, be on top of life, rejoice!''Mary has just given birth, come on, rejoice.''Three have left for such a place; they are men of great matter.'Jesus He is born
'A star that has just appeared over the horizon leads them there.''He will seize the path, a star that leads them there.'As they arrived there, where He was born, Jesus.Jesus He is born

The star was at the point of stopping, He was not far past it.Having found someone for them, He says, 'Come here.'Behold, they have arrived there and have seen Jesus.Jesus He is born

They praised a name many times saying,'Hurray, He is good in nature.'They greeted Him with respect,Oiling His scalp many times, saying, 'Hurray!''We will give to Him honor to His name.'Jesus He is born

'Let us oil His scalp many times, show reverence for Him,As He comes to be compassionate with us.'It is providential that you love us, and think'I should make them part of My family.'[
Jesus He is born
