Brenda Lee — 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 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
