Vanessa Williams
What Child Is This?
[Verse 1]
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
Haste, haste to bring him lord
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
[Bridge]
So, bring Him incense, bring gold
Come peasant, king, to own Him
The King of kings, salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
[Verse 2]
Raise, raise the song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy, for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
[Instrumental break]
[Outro]
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?
Raise, raise the song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy, for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
