Rebecca St. James - What Child Is This Lyrics
Lyrics by William C. DixHarmonized by John StainerArranged by Tedd T. and Rebecca St. JamesWhat child is this, who laid to restOn Marys lap was sleepingWhom angels greet with anthem sweetWhile shepherds watch are keepingThis, this is Christ the KingWhom shepherds guard and angels singHaste, haste to bring him laudThe babe the Son of MaryWhy lies he in such mean estateWhere ox and lamb are feedingGood Christian fear; for sinners hereThe silent word is pleadingThis, this is Christ the KingWhom shepherds guard and angels singHaste, haste to bring him laudThe babe the Son of MarySo bring him incense, gold and myrrhCome peasant, king, to own himThe King of Kings salvation bringsLet loving hearts enthrone himThis, this is Christ the KingWhom shepherds guard and angels singHaste, haste to bring him laudThe babe the Son of Mary(repeat)The babe the Son of Mary
