What Child Is This Anyway? |
What child is this who lays to rest |
On Mary’s lap is sleeping? |
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet |
While shepards watch are keeping |
This, this is Christ the King |
Whom shepards guard and angels sing |
Haste, haste to bring him love |
The Babe, the Son of Mary |
Why lies he in such mean estate, |
Where ox and ass are feeding? |
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here |
The silent Word is pleading |
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through, |
The cross be borne for me, for you. |
Hail, hail the Word made flesh, |
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. |
