Torches, torches, run with torches!



Torches, torches, run with torches
All the way to Bethlehem!
Christ is born and now lies sleeping:
Come and sing your song to him!

Torches, torches, run with torches
All the way to Bethlehem!
Christ is born and now lies sleeping:
Come and sing your song to him!

Ah, roro, roro, my baby,
Ah, roro, my love, roro;
Sleep you well, my heart’s own darling,
While we sing you our roro.

Sing, my friends, and make you merry,
Joy and mirth and joy again;
Lo! he lives, the King of Heaven,
Now and evermore. Amen


OK - these people might not be running , but they are in Bethlehem!

Please pray for my sister (Wendy) who is having a minor operation this afternoon. She should be back home after the weekend. [7 pm update - all went well!]

I have had this song in my head for months, though I could only remember the 'chorus'. I can see now that it wasn't the chorus at all! My sister and I have even sung it back and forth to each other down the phone trying to figure out the rest, without success. Thanks for printing it - now I can happily sing the whole thing!
