What Child Is This
(专辑: The King's Gift - 2013)
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? Why lies He in such mean estate, Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christians, fear, for sinners here The
silent Word is pleading. This, this is Christ the
King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The
babe, the
son of Mary. (Mary's boy.) 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 a
song on high, The
virgin sings her lullaby Joy, joy for Christ is born, The
babe, the
Son of Mary. This, this is Christ the
King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The
babe, the
son of Mary. (Mary's boy.) What child is this, who, laid to rest? (What child is this?) What child is this? (What child is this?)
