John Mcdermott - What Child Is This Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • What child is this, who laid to rest
  • On marys lap is sleeping?
  • Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
  • While shepherds watch are keeping?
  • This, this is christ the king,
  • Whom shepherds worship and angels sing:
  • Haste, haste to bring him laud,
  • The babe, the son of mary.
  • Why lies he in such mean estate,
  • Where ox and ass are feeding?
  • Come have no fear, gods son is here,
  • His love all loves exceeding.
  • Nails, spear, shall pierce him through,
  • The cross be borne for me, for you:
  • Hail, hail, the saviour comes,
  • The babe, the son of mary.
  • So bring him incense, gold and myrrh,
  • All tongues and peoples own him.
  • The king of kings salvation brings,
  • Let evry heart enthrone him.
  • Raise, raise your song on high,
  • While mary sings a lullaby;
  • Joy, joy for christ is born,
  • The babe, the son of mary.
