Lyrics What Child Is This? - Jim Brickman

What Child Is This?

What child is this
Who, laid to rest
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthem sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
This, this is Christ the King
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and lamb are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
This, this is Christ the King, etc
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come, peasant, kin to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
This this is Christ the King… etc
