Il Testo della canzone di:
What Child Is This – Cloverton

What child is this who's laid to rest
on Mary's lap, is sleeping?
whom angels greet with anthem sweet
while shepherds' watch are keeping

[Chorus:]
This is, this is the Christ our king
whom shepherds guard and angels sing!
Haste! Haste to bring him praise and laud;
The son of Mary, the Son of God!

Why lies he in such mean estate
where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians fear for sinners. Hear
The silent word is pleading.

[Chorus]

So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh.
Come peasant, king, to own him.
the king of kings salvation brings,
let loving hearts enthrone him!

[Chorus x2]
