about

French Provencal carol by Emile Blemont. Translation: Edward Cuthbert Nunn (1868-1914). Arr. Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer, admin. by Tracy Grammer Music

lyrics

bring a torch, jeanette, isabella
bring a torch, go quickly and run
christ is born, tell the folk of the village
jesus is sleeping, mary's singing

ah, ah, beautiful is the mother
ah, ah, beautiful is the son

quietly now, not to waken sweet jesus
quietly now, and whispering low
silence to keep as we gather around him
talking and noise might waken jesus

hush, hush, quietly now he slumbers
hush, hush, quietly now he sleeps

softly creep in the little rude stable
softly just for this one moment come
catch one glimpse of the tiny child jesus
tender his brow, how sweetly he's dreaming

hush, hush, quietly now he slumbers
hush, hush, quietly now he sleeps
ah, ah, beautiful is the mother
ah, ah, beautiful is the son
