Rebecca St. James - What Child Is This Lyrics
What Child Is This
Written by William C. Dix
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
Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and lamb are feeding
Good Christian fear for sinners here
The silent word is pleading
[CHORUS]
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, king to own Him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
[CHORUS]
