What Child Is This

 


1. 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!


2. Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.


3. So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come, peasant, king to own Him.
The King of kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

  2. I do not know if it’s just me or if everybody
    else experiencing issues with your blog. It looks
    like some of the written text on your posts are running off the screen.
    Can someone else please comment and let me know if
    this is happening to them too? This might be a problem with my web browser
    because I’ve had this happen before. Thank you

  3. I must say it was hard to find your page in search results.
    You write awesome posts but you should rank your blog higher in search engines.
    If you don’t know how to do it search on youtube:
