WHAT CHILD IS THIS? (TRADITIONAL)
Verse 1:
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?
Chorus: This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing - Haste, haste to bring Him laud - The babe, the Son of Mary
Verse 2:
Why lies He in such mean estate - Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear - for sinners here - The silent Word is pleading
Chorus: This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing - Haste, haste to bring Him laud - The babe, the Son of Mary
End
Additional Verse 3 (not on cd/mp3):
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, come, peasant, king to own Him - the King of kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
