Chorus / Description : What Child Is This? Lyrics by Anthem Lights. Experience the beautiful Christmas carol that tells the story of the birth of Christ. Join the shepherds and angels in celebrating the babe, the son of Mary, through this timeless song.
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
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
Oh-ohh
This, this is Christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary
The babe, the son of Mary
