What Child Is This

Artists : Plus One : What Child Is This

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

Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and lamb are feeding
Good Christian fear for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading

Chorus
This, this is Christ the king
Who shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe the son of Mary

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

(2x) 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

The babe the son of Mary
