HYMN Lyrics Text: Bring A Torch

1. Bring a torch Jeaneth 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 the son.




2. It is wrong when child is sleeping

It is wrong to talk so loud

Silence all as you gather round

lest your noise

should waken Jesus, hush! Hush!

See how fast he slumbers,

hush! Hush!

See how fast he sleeps




3. Who goes there a knocking

so loudly

Who goes there a knocking

like that?

Open your doors, I have here

on a plate some very good

Cakes which I'm bringing,

Toc! Toc!

Quickly your doors now open,

Toc! Toc!

Come let us make good cheer




4. Softly to the little stable

Softly for a woman come

Look and see how charming is

Jesus How He's white

His checks are tosy, hush! Hush!

See how the child is sleeping,

hush! Hush!

See how he smiles in dream.
