What Child Is This Songtext
von Órla Fallon

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?
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


This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Raise, raise the song on high
His mother 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
