Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella

Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella

Bring a torch to the cradle run!

It is Jesus, good folk of the village

Christ is born and Mary's calling

Ah! Ah! beautiful is the Mother

Hush. Hush. beautiful is her Son!

It is wrong when the Child is sleeping

It is wrong to talk so loud

Silence, all, as you gather around him

Lest your noise should waken Jesus.

Hush! hush! see how fast He slumbers!

Hush! hush! see how fast He sleeps!
