Текст песни What Child Is This? (Carol of the Bells) - The Canadian Tenors

(What Child is this, who laid to rest)
(On Mary's lap is sleeping?)

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

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come, peasant, king, to own Him
The Kings 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

Raise (raise), raise the song on high
The Virgin sings Her lullaby
Joy, joy, for Christ is born
The Babe (the Babe), the Son of Mary, of Mary
The Babe, the Son of Mary, of Mary
