Bring A Torch Jeanette Isabella<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

For my final monthly hymn I chose a Christmas carol. It originated from the Province region of France in the 16th century. I .chose a French Carol so I was sure I didn’t know it already. It is also to encourage more learning of this second language in our home. I will focus on learning the English first. It will later be a project for my oldest daughter and I to learn in French. A very pretty song but it was hard to find an audio for it so I am using a video to learn it this month. You can link to the video RIGHT HERE<\/a><\/span>

Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella!<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Bring a torch, to the stable run<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Christ is born. Tell the folk of the village<\/leo_highlight><\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Jesus is born and Mary’s calling.<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Ah!* Ah! beautiful is the Mother!<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Ah! Ah! beautiful is her child<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\n
It is wrong when the child is sleeping,<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
It is wrong to talk so loud.<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Silence, now as you gather around,<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Lest your noise should waken Jesus.<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Hush! Hush! see how he slumbers;<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Hush! Hush! see how fast he sleeps!<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\n
Softly now unto the stable,<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Softly for a moment come!<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Look and see how charming is Jesus,<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Look at him there, His cheeks are rosy!<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Hush! Hush! see how the Child is sleeping;<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Hush! Hush! see how he smiles in dreams!<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/td>\n

Un flambeau, Jeanette, Isabelle —<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Un flambeau! Courons au berceau!<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
C’est J\u00e9sus, bonnes gens du hameau.<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Le Christ est n\u00e9; Marie appelle!<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Ah! Ah! Ah! Que la M\u00e8re est belle,<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Ah! Ah! Ah! Que l’Enfant est beau!<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\n
C’est un tort, quand l’Enfant sommeille,<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
C’est un tort de crier si fort.<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Taisez-vous, l’un et l’autre, d’abord!<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Au moindre bruit, J\u00e9sus s’\u00e9veille.<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Chut! chut! chut! Il dort \u00e0 merveille,<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Chut! chut! chut! Voyez comme il dort!<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
\n
Doucement, dans l’\u00e9table close,<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Doucement, venez un moment!<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Approchez! Que J\u00e9sus est charmant!<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Comme il est blanc! Comme il est rose!<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Do! Do! Do! Que l’Enfant repose!<\/i><\/span><\/dd>\n
Do! Do! Do! Qu’il rit en dormant!<\/i> [<\/span>1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
