Rebecca St. James

Rebecca St. James - What Child Is This lyrics

Lyrics by William C. Dix

Harmonized by John Stainer

Arranged by Tedd T. and Rebecca St. James

What child is this, who laid to rest

On Marys lap was sleeping

Whom angels greet with anthem sweet

While shepherds watch are keeping

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 lamb are feeding

Good Christian fear; for sinners here

The silent word is pleading

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him laud

The babe the Son of Mary

So bring him incense, gold and myrrh

Come peasant, king, to own him

The King of Kings salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone him

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him laud

The babe the Son of Mary

(repeat)

The babe the Son of Mary
