Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabella Lyrics

Bring a Torch, Jeannette Isabella

Bring a torch, Jeannette 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;
Ah! Ah! 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!
