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
Hush, hush,
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,
Lest your noise should waken Jesus.

Hush, hush,
See how fast he slumbers,
Hush, hush,
See how fast he sleeps.
