What Child Is This? Songtext
von Rod Stewart

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


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

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

What child is this
Who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap (on Mary′s lap)
Is sleeping?

Oh joy, oh joy
For Christ is born
The babe
The son
Of Mary
