What child is this lyrics?

Answer 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?

* This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard 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.

* Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through,

The Cross be borne, for me, for you.

Hail, hail, the Word made flesh,

The Babe, the Son of Mary!

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;

Come peasant, king, to own Him.

The King of Kings salvation brings;

Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

* Raise, raise, the song on high,

The Virgin sings her lullaby:

Joy, joy, for Christ is born,

The Babe, the Son of Mary!
