Ernie Haase & Signature Sound - What Child Is This? lyrics

rate me

What child is this who lay to rest

On Mary's lap is sleeping?

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet

While shepherds watch our keeping?

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring Him laud

The Babe, the Son of Mary

Where lies He in such mean estate

Where ox and lamb are feeding?

Good Christians fear for sinners here

The silent Word is pleading

Nails, nails shall pierce Him through

The cross be borne for me and you

Hail, hail the Word made flesh

The Babe, the Son of Mary

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh

Come peasant, come king to own Him

The King of Kings salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone Him

Raise, raise a song on high

The virgin sings her lullaby

Joy, joy for Christ is born

The Babe, the Son of Mary, ooh, ooh
