  Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella!
  Bring a torch, to the cradle run
  It is Jesus, good folk of the village
  Christ is born and mother Mary is a-calling.
  Ah! Ah! beautiful is the Mother!
  Ah! Ah! beautiful is her son
  
  It is wrong while the baby is sleeping,
  It is wrong, don't be talking so loud.
  Silence, now as you gather around,
  Lest a sound should waken Jesus.
  Hush! Hush! beautiful is the Mother!
  Hush! Hush! beautiful is her son
  
  Softly into the manger,
  Softly for a moment come!
  Look and see how charming the baby,
  Look at him there, His cheeks are rosy!
  Hush! Hush! see how the Child is sleeping;
  Hush! Hush! see how he smiles in dreams!  less
