Текст песни What Child Is This? - Fernando Ortega

What child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lamp he's sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
When shepherds watch are keeping
Why lies he is in such mean estate
Where Ox and as are feeding

Good Christians fear or sinners here
The silent word is pleading
This, this is Christ the king
Whom shepherd's guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary

And he shall be called
Advocate, lamb of God, judge, Lord of Lord's
The resurrection and the life
Man of sorrows, head of the church
Master, faithful and true witness
Rock, the door, high priest
Living waters, bread of life
Alpha and Omega, true vine, Messiah

Teacher, holy one, mediator
The beloved, branch, carpenter
Good shepherd, light of the world
The word, image of the invisible God
Chief cornerstone, savior
Author and finisher of our faith
The almighty everlasting father
Lion of the tribe of Judah

I am king of kings, prince of peace
Bridegroom, only begotten son
Wonderful counselor, Immanuel
Son of man, king of the Jews
Prophet, redeemer, anchor
Son of God, bright morning star
The way, the truth and the life
Jesus Christ

So bring him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant king to own him
The king of kings salvation brings
While 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 is, this is Christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe the son of Mary
