What Child Is This (Greenslaves) Songtext / Lyric

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

Chorus:
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

Chorus

So bring him incense, gold and myrrh
Come, peasant, kin to own him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone him

Chorus
