Bring a torch, Jeannette, Isabella

Bring a torch, come swiftly and run

Christ is born, tell the folk of the village

Jesus is sleeping in His cradle

Ah, ah, beautiful is the Mother;

Ah, ah, beautiful is her Son.



Hasten now, good folk of the village

Hasten now, the Christ-Child to see

You will find him asleep in the manger

Quietly come and whisper softly

Hush, hush, peacefully now He slumbers

Hush, hush, peacefully now He sleeps
