David Archuleta - What A 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 />

<br />

[CHORUS] <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 />

<br />

<br />

Why lies He in such mean estate,<br />

Where ox and ass are feeding?<br />

Good Christians, fear, for sinners here<br />

The silent Word is pleading.<br />

<br />

[CHORUS]<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 />

<br />

[CHORUS]<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 />

<br />

[CHORUS]<br />

<br />

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

The virgin sings her lullaby.<br />

Joy, joy for Christ is born,<br />

The Babe, the Son of Mary.
