Christmas - What Child Is This lyrics

rate me

What Child is this, who laid to rest,<br />

On Mary's lap is sleeping?<br />

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet<br />

While shepherds watch are keeping?<br />

This, this is Christ the King<br />

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.<br />

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,<br />

The Babe, the Son of Mary.<br />

<br />

Why lies He in such mean estate<br />

Where ox and ass are feeding?<br />

Good Christian, fear: for sinners here,<br />

The silent Word is pleading.<br />

This, this is Christ the King<br />

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.<br />

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,<br />

The Babe, the Son of Mary.<br />

<br />

Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through,<br />

The Cross be borne, for me, for you:<br />

Hail, hail, the Word made flesh,<br />

The Babe, the Son of Mary!<br />

This, this is Christ the King<br />

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.<br />

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,<br />

The Babe, the Son of Mary.<br />

<br />

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;<br />

Come peasant, king to own Him.<br />

The King of Kings salvation brings;<br />

Let loving hearts enthrone Him.<br />

This, this is Christ the King<br />

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.<br />

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,<br />

The Babe, the Son of Mary.<br />

<br />

Raise, raise, the song on high,<br />

The Virgin sings her lullaby:<br />

Joy joy for Christ is born,<br />

The Babe, the Son of Mary!<br />

This, this is Christ the King<br />

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.<br />

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,<br />

The Babe, the Son of Mary.
