What Child Is This / Fragile
(oh-oh-o-o-oh
(oh-o-o-oh
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clease your lifetime's arguments
But nothing comes from violence
And nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
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
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from the star
Like tears from the star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come peasant, come king to own him
The king of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone him
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from the star
Like tears from the star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from the star
Like tears from the star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
Fragile
How fragile we are
(oh-o-o-oh
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clease your lifetime's arguments
But nothing comes from violence
And nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
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
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from the star
Like tears from the star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come peasant, come king to own him
The king of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone him
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from the star
Like tears from the star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from the star
Like tears from the star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
Fragile
How fragile we are
