Songtext von What Child Is This

What child is this, who, laid to rest On Mary's lap is 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 So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh Come, peasant, kin 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 This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste, to bring Him laud The Babe, the Son of Mary What child is this, who, laid to rest On Mary's lap is sleeping Oh joy, oh joy for Christ is born The Babe, the Son of Mary
