What Child Is This – Joan BaezBy What Child is this who, laid to restOn 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.Why lies He in such mean estate,Where ox and ass are feeding?Good Christians, fear, for sinners hereThe silent Word is pleading.[Chorus]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.[Chorus]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 a song on high,The virgin sings her lullaby.Joy, joy for Christ is born,The Babe, the Son of Mary. www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
