What Child Is This Lyrics - Connie Smith

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 

This this is Christ the King... 

So bring him incense gold and myrrh come rich and poor to own him 

The King of kings salvation brings let loving hearts enthrone him 

This this is Christ the King...
