Marc Martel and Ron Block - 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?

Ooh, ooh

Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Oh, Christians fear for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
The silent Word is pleading

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary

Ooh, ooh

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

Raise, raise a song on high
The Virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary

Ooh, ooh
