What Child Is This - Brenda Lee

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

Lies He in such mean estate

Where ox and ass are feeding

Good Christian fear for sinners here

The silent word is creeding

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring Him light

The babe, the son of Mary

Nails, spears shall pierce Him through

The cross be borne for me, for you

Hail, hail the Word made Flesh

The babe, the son of Mary
