What Child is This Songtext
von Rolando Villazón

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?
Raise, raise the song on high
The 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 praise

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 praise
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him praise
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him praise
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
