bring a torch, jeanette, isabelle

Sufjan Stevens

bring the torch
jeanette, isabelle
bring the torch
come swiftly and run

Christ is born
tell the folk of the village
Jesus is sleeping
in his cradle
ah ah
beatiful is the mother
ah ah
beatiful 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
whisper softly

hush hush
peacefully now
he slumbers
hush hush
peacefully now
he sleeps
