lyrics

Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella
Bring a torch, come quickly and run!
Christ is born, tell the folks of the village -
Jesus is sleeping in his cradle!
Ah! ah! beautiful is the Mother
Ah! ah! beautiful is her Son!

It is wrong when the Child is sleeping
It is wrong to be so loud;
Silence, all, as you come from the village,
Lest your voices should waken Jesus.
Hush! hush! see how fast He slumbers!
Hush! hush! see how fast He sleeps!

Softly to the little stable.
Softly for a moment come;
You will find him asleep in the manger -
Quietly come and whisper faintly -
Hush! hush! Peacefully now he slumbers;
Hush! hush! see how He smiles in dreams.

Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella
Bring a torch, come quickly and run!
Christ is born, tell the folks of the village -
Jesus is sleeping in his cradle!
Ah! ah! beautiful is the Mother
Ah! ah! beautiful is her Son!
