Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabelle,Bring a torch, to the town center run.It is Jesus, tell everyoneThat Christ is born on this Noel.Hark! Hark! Beautiful Mother shines as well!Hark! Beautiful is the Son.You must not, when lay sleeping the Child,You must not let your talk so increase.Silence, all, as you gather to see Him.If but for noise, He lay so mild.Shush! Shush! See how He sleeps, and see, beguiled,Hark! See how He sleeps in peace.Softly, now, in the manger draw closer.Softly, now by the torch's gleam.Come and see that Jesus is beaming. Softly He sleeps,His cheeks so rosy.Hush! Hush! There He lies in soft repose.Hush! There He smiles in dreams.Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabelle,Bring a torch, to the town center run.It is Jesus, tell everyoneThat Christ is born on this Noel.Hark! Hark! Beautiful Mother shines as well!Hark! Beautiful is the Son.

It's gone so silent nowAnd the whisper of snowflakes on our windowWhile we lay here, warm inside,And watch the moonlight riseWith the world deep within their dreaming,Peacefully,We'll see gleaming silver-shining sightsSnow catches light:A million gems lay sparklingIn the deepest nightDon't close your eyes,You won't forget theirShineShine like the sparkles of your eyesSee how they shineHere, in the dark, a million lightsAnd they all shineIn moonlightAnd one, on its own, can't denyThat togetherThey all will shine.It's day and bustle now,And the crowded streets are filled with rushing shoppers.And people just stopping by a while.But, though this rushin' tideWill ebb and flow, I know There's nowhere else that IWould rather spend this time...Just sing or shout!However you can join the crowdWithin, without,The city welcomes all to join the --ShineI see hope when it's shining in the moonlightShine with the buildings and the lightsSee how they shineI know it when it's blazing like a starlightShine like a billion sparks of lifeAnd they all shineLike starlightsAnd, here, more than one, we can't lieThat togetherWe all will shine.Ooo...Snow catches light...A million gems lay sparklingIn the deepest night...And won't you shine down, can't you shine out?And won't you shine down, can't you shine out?ShineCome and join in, show your lightWon't you shine?Shine like a billion twinkling lights?Cause we're all shineWe're all lightA blaze and a joy that will bind'Cause togetherWe all willShineOh won't you shine on meShine like a universe of lightsOh, won't you shineOh won't you shine on meShine like snow on moonlit night?We can all shine'Cause we're lightAnd let what's inside come out bright'Cause togetherWe'll join and shine.Come join and shine...We all are light...We all will shine.
