What Child Is This Lyrics - Charlotte Church

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 

This, this is Christ the King, 

The Babe, the Son of Mary. 

Why lies He in such mean estate 

Where ox and lamb are feeding? 

Good Christian, fear for sinners here 

The silent Word is pleading. 

This, this is Christ the King 

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing 

This, this is Christ the King 

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 

This, this is Christ the King 

The Babe, the Son of Mary.
