Verse 1: G D Am G Bring a torch, Jeannette, Isabella, G D Am G bring a torch — to the cradle run; D G Em G it is Jesus, good folk of the village; D Em C G Christ is born and Mary’s calling: G Em Ah! ah! beautiful is the Mother; C G D G Ah! ah! beautiful is her Son! Verse 2: G D Am G It is wrong when the Child is sleeping, G D Am G it is wrong to talk so loud; D G Em G silence, all, as you gather around, D Em C G lest your noise should waken Jesus: G Em Hush! hush! see how fast He slumbers; C G D G Hush! hush! see how fast He sleeps! Verse 3: G D Am G Who goes there? knocking so loudly; G D Am G who goes there? knocking like that; D G Em G ope your doors, I have here on a plate D Em C G some very good cakes which I am bringing: G Em Toc! toc! quickly your doors now open; C G D G Toc! toc! come let us make good cheer! Verse 4: G D Am G Softly to the little stable, G D Am G softly for a moment come; D G Em G look and see how charming is Jesus, D Em C G how He is white, His cheeks are rosy! G Em Bye! bye! see how the Child is sleeping; C G D G Bye! bye! see how He smiles in dreams.
