about

Arranged and produced by Emme Smith Trio. Recorded and mixed at White Tail Recording. Cover art by Elizabeth Joffrion and Emily Smith.

"Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella," is a French carol dating back to the 17th century. We thought it could use some 21st century love.

lyrics

Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella,
Bring a torch, to the cradle run.
It is Jesus, good folk of the village,
Christ is born and Mary's calling.
Ah, beautiful is the mother,
Beautiful is her Son!

It is wrong when the Child is sleeping,
It is wrong to talk so loud;
Silence, all, as you gather around,
Lest your noise should waken Jesus
Hush, hush, see how fast He slumbers,
Hush, hush, see how fast He sleeps!

Hasten now, good folk of the village,
Hasten now the Christ Child to see.
You will find Him asleep in the manger,
Quietly come and whisper softly.
Hush, hush, peacefully now He slumbers,
Hush, hush, peacefully now He sleeps!

Bring a torch, Jeanette Isabella,
Bring a torch to the stable run
