Bring a Torch Jeanette Isabella
1. 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;
Ah! Ah! Beautiful is her son.
2. It is wrong when the Child is sleeping,
It is wrong to talk so loud;
Silence, all, as you gather around,
Lest your noise should waken Jesus:
Hush! Hush! see how fast He slumbers;
Hush! Hush! see how fast He sleeps.
3. Who goes there a-knocking so loudly?
Who goes there a-knocking like that?
Open your doors, I have here on a plate
Some very good cakes which I am bringing:
Toe! Toe! quickly your doors now open;
Toe! Toe! come let us make good cheer.
4. Softly to the little stable.
Softly for a moment come;
Look and see how charming is Jesus,
How He is white. His cheeks are rosy.
Hush! Hush! see how the Child is sleeping;
Hush! Hush! see how He smiles in dreams.
