Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabella

This charming waltz calls to all to come quickly and see the Christ Child in his cradle. 
The setting leaves the listener wanting to hear it again and again.

Text

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!

It is wrong when the Child is sleeping
It is wrong to talk so loud;
Quiet, all, as you gather round.
Lest the sound should waken Jesus.
Hush!  Hush!  See how the child is sleeping;
Hush! Hush! See how fast he sleeps

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!  See how the child is sleeping;
Hush!  Hush!  Peacefully now he sleeps.

Softly to the little stable. 
Softly in 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! Hush!
He smiles in his dreams.
