X: 4 T:What Child Is This (Lyrics) Z:ABC by Thornton Rose, December 2001 M:3/4 L:1/4 Q:1/4=130 K:C |] W:1. What child is this, who, laid to rest, W:On Mary's lap is sleeping? W:Whom angels greet with anthems sweet W:While shepherds watch are keeping? W: W:Chorus: W:This, this is Christ the King, W:Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. W:This, this is Christ the King, W:The Babe, the Son of Mary. W: W:2. Why lies He in such mean estate W:Where ox and ass are feeding? W:Good Christian, fear, for sinners here W:The silent Word is pleading. W:(Chorus) W: W:3. So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh W:Come, peasant, King to own Him; W:The King of Kings salvation brings W:Let loving hearts enthrone him. W:(Chorus)
