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!
Hush! Hush! 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!
