The remainder of the piece splits into four part women's harmony with flowing, moving lines in each vocal part. Excellent selection for church, school or professional ensembles. May be sung in English or French.Duration: 2 minutes, 45 secondsEnglish LyricsBring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella!Bring a torch, to Bethlehem come!Christ is born. Tell the folk of the villageMary has laid him in a manger.Ah! Ah! beautiful is the Mother!Ah! Ah! beautiful is her child!Who is that, knocking on the door?Who is it, knocking like that?Open up, we've arranged on a platterLovely cakes that we have brought hereKnock! Knock! Knock! Open the door for us!Knock! Knock! Knock! Let's celebrate!It is wrong when the Baby is sleeping,It is wrong to speak so loud.Silence, now as you gather around,Lest your noise should waken Jesus.Hush! Hush! see how the Baby slumbers;Hush! Hush! see how the Baby sleeps!Softly now unto the stable,Softly for a moment come!Look and see how charming is Jesus,Look at him there, His cheeks are rosy!Hush! Hush! see how the Child is sleeping;Hush! Hush! see how he smiles in dreams!French LyricsUn flambeau, Jeannette, IsabelleUn flambeau, courons au berceau.C’est Jésus, bonnes gens du hameau,Le Christ est né, Marie appelleAh! Ah! Que la mère est belleAh! Ah! Que l’Enfant est beau.Qui vient là frappant de la sorteQui vient là frappant comme ça.Ouvrez donc j’ai posé sur un platDe bons gâteaux qu’ici j’apporte.Toc! Toc! Ouvrez-nous la porteToc! Toc! Faisons grand gala.C’est un tort quand l’Enfant sommeilleC’est un tort de crier si fort.Taisez-vous l’un et l’autre d’abord,Au moindre bruit Jésus s’éveilleChut! Chut! Il dort à merveilleChut! Chut! Voyez comme Il dort.Doucement dans l’étable closeDoucement venez un momentApprochez! Que Jésus est charmant,Comme Il est blanc, comme Il est roseDo! Do! Que l’Enfant reposeDo! Do! Qu’Il rie en dormant.
