Bring A Torch, Jeanette, Isabella

anonymous Renaissance carol
translated from French to English by E. Cuthbert Nunn (1868-1914)

  1. Bring a torch, Jeanette, 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.

  2. Hasten now, good folk of the village,
    Hasten now, the Christ Child to see.
    You will find Him asleep in a manger,
    Quietly come and whisper softly,
    Hush, hush, peacefully now He slumbers,
    Hush, hush, peacefully now He sleeps.
