Nick Scarantino - What Child Is This

What child is this who lay 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
Whome shepherds guard, and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary
Why lies he in such mean estate
Where oxe and ass are feeding
Good Christians cheer
For love is here
The silent word is pleading
Nails, spear shall pierce him through
The cross be born for me and you
Hail, hail the word made flesh
The babe, the son of Mary
So bring him inscense
Gold and myrrh
Come peasent king to own him
The king of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone him
Raise, raise the song on high
The mother sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The babe, the son of Mary
