Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabella (with Sissel)

Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella!
Bring a torch, to Bethlehem run!
Tell the village of Christ in a manger,
Cradled in love and bathed in glory,
Ah, ah, beautiful is His mother!
Ah, ah, beautiful is her Son! ah, beautiful here begun!
Come, awaken, ye folk of the village!
Come, awaken from slumber & see
All is bright as a sapphire gleaming
Under the herald star of heaven!
Run, run, follow it to the stable!
Run, run, follow it fearlessly!
Run, follow the newborn shepherd!
Run, follow Him faithfully!
Bow before Him, ye mothers and children!
Bow before Him, ye shepherds and kings!
Hay of gold is the crown of His coming,
Swaddling clothes, His robe of glory.
Hush, Hush, Joseph beholds the baby!
Hush, Hush angels begin to sing!
Peace, peace, cattle are softly lowing!
Peace, peace, heaven is caroling!
Ah, ah, Mary is sweetly sleeping!
Ah, ah, wise men their treasures bring!
Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella!
Bring a torch, the journey is long!
Bring a drum and a timbrel for dancing!
Bring a drum and a lyre for song!
Bring a kettle for cooking and feasting!
Bring a kettle to feed the great throng!
Bring your voices, ye children of promise!
Bring your voices, come hurry and run!
Tell the world that Jesus, our Savior,
Quickly will come again in glory.
Ah, ah, beautiful is the Christ child!
Ah, ah, beautiful is God's Son!
Ah, beautiful day of Christmas!
Ah, ah, beautiful day to come!
Hasten onward, good folk of the manger!
Hasten onward, to everywhere run!
Lift the flame of Jeanette, Isabella!
Lift the flame of those maidens begun!
Share the light of His love with the lowly!
Share the light of salvation to come!
Sing His tidings to all of the nations!
Sing His tidings in every tongue!
Wake the world now sleeping in darkness!
Wake the world awaiting the Son!
Bring a torch! Bring a torch! Bring a torch! Bring a torch!
Here, Jeanette! Isabelle! Bring a torch!
Go! Hurry to Bethlehem run!
