Testo di 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 laud The babe, the son of mary So bring him incense, gold and myrrh Come peasant, king to own him The king 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 This, this is Christ the king Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste, to bring him laud The babe, the son of mary
