What Child Is This Songtext
von Gene Autry

Children, children

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
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 a song on high
The Virgin sings a lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary
