bring a torch, jeannette, isabella - joan baez lyrics

bring a torch, jeannette, 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.

hasten now, good folk of the village
hasten now, the christ-child to see
you will find him asleep in the manger
quietly come and whisper softly
hush, hush, peacefully now he slumbers
hush, hush, peacefully now he sleeps
