Letra de «What Child is This»
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 ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear: for sinners here The silent Word is pleading
Nails, spears shall pierce Him through The cross be born for me and you Hail, hail the word meet flesh 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
Raise, raise the song on high The virgin sings her lullaby Joy, joy for Christ is born The Babe, the Son of Mary
The Babe, the Son of Mary The Babe, the Son of Mary
Scriptural Reference:
"On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh." Matthew 2:11
