Emersonlake & Palmer - Endless Enigma lyrics

What child is this

Who lay 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 all sinners here

The silent Word is pleading.

This, This is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard

And angels sing

Haste, oh oh haste to bring Him laud

The babe, the son of Mary

What child is this

Who lay to rest

On Mary's lap is sleeping?

Whom angels greet

With anthems sweet

While shepherds watch

Are keeping?

Whoah oh oh

This, This is Christ the King (Christ the King)

Whom shepherds guard (shepherds guard)

And angels sing (and angels sing)

Haste, oh oh haste to bring Him laud

The babe, (the babe) the son of Mary (the son of Mary)

What child is this

Who lay to rest

On Mary's lap is sleeping?

What child (what child)

Whom angels greet

With anthems sweet

While shepherds watch

Are keeping?

What child is this

Who lay to rest

On Mary's lap is sleeping?

Whom angels greet

With anthems sweet

While shepherds watch

Are keeping?

(watch are keeping)

This, This is Christ the King (this is Christ the King)

Whom shepherds guard (who the shepherds guard)

And angels sing (and the angels sing)

Haste, (haste) oh oh haste to bring Him laud

The babe, the son (the babe) of Mary (son of Mary)

The baby the son of Mary
