What Child Is This Songtext
von Helene Fischer

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

Why lies He in such a mean estate
Where ox and donkeys are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading


This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the son of Mary

What child is this
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come, peasant, king, to own him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone him

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the son of Mary

What child is this
