What Child Is This (Mercy Seat)
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, is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard, and angels sing
Born, to set us free
This manger now the mercy seat
Why lies He in, this humble place
Where ox and lamb are feeding
This Child's cry, the answer to
The prayers for our redeeming
Nails shall pierce Him through
The cross be born, for me for you
Born to set us free
This manger now the mercy seat
This is love, we've been forgiven
A Child born, to make us His children
Word made flesh, God among us
This is Jesus, heaven's promise
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 the song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Born to set us free
This manger now the mercy seat
This is love, we've been forgiven
A Child born to make us His children
Word made flesh, God among us
This is Jesus
This is love, we've been forgiven
A Child born to make us His children
Word made flesh, God among us
This is Jesus, this is Jesus
Heaven's promise
The Father's love, what mystery
This Baby born for Calvary
From manger to Golgotha's tree
The cross became the mercy seat
On Mary's lap, is sleeping
Whom angels greet, with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch, are keeping
This, is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard, and angels sing
Born, to set us free
This manger now the mercy seat
Why lies He in, this humble place
Where ox and lamb are feeding
This Child's cry, the answer to
The prayers for our redeeming
Nails shall pierce Him through
The cross be born, for me for you
Born to set us free
This manger now the mercy seat
This is love, we've been forgiven
A Child born, to make us His children
Word made flesh, God among us
This is Jesus, heaven's promise
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 the song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Born to set us free
This manger now the mercy seat
This is love, we've been forgiven
A Child born to make us His children
Word made flesh, God among us
This is Jesus
This is love, we've been forgiven
A Child born to make us His children
Word made flesh, God among us
This is Jesus, this is Jesus
Heaven's promise
The Father's love, what mystery
This Baby born for Calvary
From manger to Golgotha's tree
The cross became the mercy seat
