What Child Is This?
Hymnal: Joyful Songs #142 (1875) First Line: What child is this, who, laid to rest Lyrics: 1 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.
2 Come 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,
Joy, Joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary. Languages: English Tune Title: [What child is this, who laid to rest]
