WHAT CHILD IS THIS
William C. Dix
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; Whome shepherds guard and angels sing:
Refrain:
Haste, Haste to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary!
Hail, Hail the Word made flesh, The Babe, the Son of Mary!
Joy, Joy for Christ is born, The Babe, the Son of Mary!
Why lies He in such mean estate, where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here The silent Word is pleading;
Nails, shears shall pierce Him through, The Cross be born for me, for you;
Refrain
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, Come peasant, king to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings; Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, Raise the song on high, The Virgin sings her lullaby;
Refrain
