What Child is This?

Old English Melody with words by William C. Dix

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing,
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

[Verse 2]
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come peasant, king to own Him.
The King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

[Chorus]
Raise, raise, the song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby,
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

[Bridge]
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
What Child is this….

From the album “Christmas in July” by the King Arthur Holiday Band
