The Irish Rovers - Songs of Christmas

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

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Peace, peace to all he brings
The babe, the son of Mary

Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding
Good Christian fear for sinners here
The silent word is pleading

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Peace, peace to all he brings
The babe, the son of Mary

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come peasant king to know him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Peace, peace to all he brings
The babe, the son of Mary
