WHAT CHILD IS THIS

What child is this, who, laid to rest, on Joy to the world! The Lord is come; Mary’s lap is sleeping? Let earth receive her King, Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, Let every heart prepare him room, while shepherd watch are keeping? And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and nature sing, This, this is Christ the King, And heaven and heaven sing, whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste to bring him laud, Joy to the world! The Savior reigns; the babe, the son of Mary. Let us our songs employ; While fields and floods, rock hills and Why lies he in such mean estate where ox plains, and ass are feeding? Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the Good Christian, fear: for sinners here the sounding joy, silent word is pleading. Repeat, repeat the sounding joy,

So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh, He rules the world with truth and grace, Come peasant, king, to own him; And makes the nations prove The King of kings salvation brings, let loving The glories of his righteousness, hearts enthrone him. And wonders of his love, And wonders of his love, And wonders, wonders of his love.

The little Lord Jesus, a sleep on the hay. Gloria in excelsis Deo! The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, Gloria in excelsis Deo! But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes; I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your the sky, joyous strains prolong? And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. Say what may the tidings be which inspire your heavenly song. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray; Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose Bless all the dear children in thy tender birth the angels sing: care, 3 Come, adore on bended knee Christ, the seemed his lot, Lord, the newborn King.
