Lyrics Traditional: What Child Is This - Sir Stephen Cleobury , Choir of King's College, Cambridge , Traditional
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
sheperds
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
Christians,
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
a
song
on
high
The
Virgin
sings
her
lullaby
Joy,
joy
for
Christ
is
born
The
Babe,
the
Son
of
Mary
