Lyrics:
Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella.
Bring a torch, come hurry and run.
It it Jesus, good folk of the village,
Christ is born, and Mary’s calling:
Ah! Ah! Beautiful is the mother;
Ah! Ah! Beautiful is the child!
It is wrong, when the Baby is sleeping,
It is wrong to speak so loud;
Silence, now as you come near the cardle,
Lest you awaken little Jesus.
Ah! Ah! Beautiful is the mother;
Ah! Ah! Beautiful is the child!
Skies are glowing, the heavens are cloudless,
Bright the path to the manger bed.
Hasten all who would see little Jesus,
Shining bright as yonder star.
Ah! Ah! Beautiful is the mother;
Ah! Ah! Beautiful is the child!

This has remained one of my favorites. It was when I was little and now I'm middle aged... such a truly beautiful gem.

Beautiful rendition of a classic carol by the greatest choral director ever. I was lucky to have sung under him while still in HS. His presence in rehearsal was so commanding, everyone felt they were under the direction of a very special man. Never before or since have I felt this way about any Chorale director. He was truly one of a kind!

Were I a Jeanette Isabella, I'd do more than "bring" --- I'd dash with a light.

I wonder who Jeannette Isabella was?

From Wikipedia: The characters "Jeannette" and "Isabelle/Isabella" are two female farmhands who have found the Baby Jesus and his mother Mary in a stable. Excited by this discovery, they run to a nearby village to tell the inhabitants, who rush to see the new arrivals. Visitors to the stable are urged to keep their voices quiet, so the newborn can enjoy his dreams.

We can say Merry Christmas again, thanks Mr. Trump!

Trump had to come along to make Christmas great again. That's all. :)

Pussy Galore There's no need to be melodramatic, ma'am (or is it sir) in so far as it has never been illegal to say "Merry Christmas" in America, and it never will be so. Incidentally, whenever I hear atheists griping that Christmas should not be a federal holiday, I feel like chewing bullets. I cannot abide whiny people. I must say, you certainly chose an eyebrow raising monicker for yourself. I love classic James Bond films myself, but I would hardly expect so obviously pious a Christian as yourself to adopt such a lewdly provocative soubriquet. Shame on you. You have sullied my faith with your carnal preoccupations.

Jamie O'Connell Say, Ms. O'Connell, I'll bet that you're just BOATLOADS of Holier-Than-Thou fun, ain't ya? Would it help if I told you that one of my closest friends is vegan, I respect the rainbow flag, and that I'm VERY sympathetic with regard to the plight of unwanted animals? That's why I believe that we need more private prisons and a nationwide death penalty.
