Paroles de What Child Is This?

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 shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring him Lord The Babe, the Son of Mary Why lies He in such mean state Where ox and mules are feeding? Good Christians fear for all sinners here The silent Word is pleading This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring him Lord The Babe, the Son of Mary So bring Him incense, gold, and myrth Come peasant, king, to own Him The King of kings, salvation brings Let loving hearts enthrone Him
