What Child Is This Songtext
von Sidewalk Prophets

What child is this who lay 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

What child is this who lay to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherd 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


Raise, raise a song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The babe, the son of Mary
