What Child Is This? Lyrics

The song What Child Is This? is performed by John Denver in the album named Christmas in Concert in the year 2001 .



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?

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 a*s are feeding?
Good Christians, 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
The Babe, the Son of Mary
