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, beautiful is the mother.
ah, beautiful is her son.
It is fun when the child is sleeping,
it is fun 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.
Softly to the little stable,
softly for a moment come.
Look and see how charming
His cheeks are rosy, hush, hush.
See how the child is sleeping,
See how he smiles in dreams.
