What Child Is This |
|
What Child is this, who, laid to rest |
On Mary’s lap is sleeping? |
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet |
While Shepherds watch are keeping? |
|
This, this is Christ the King |
Whom shepherds gaurd and angels sing |
Haste, haste to bring Him laud |
The Babe, the son of Mary |
|
Why lies He in such mean estate |
Where ox and ass are feeding? |
Good Christian, fear; for sinners here |
The silent Word is pleading |
|
So bring Him incence, gold and myrrh |
Come, peasant, king, to own Him |
The King of kings salvation brings |
Let loving hearts enthrone Him |
|
