What Child Is This? Songtext
von Josh Groban

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


Oh raise, raise a song on high
His mother sings a lullaby
Joy, oh 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

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

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