What Child is This

William Chatterton Dix

[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 laud
The Son and babe of Mary

[Verse 2]
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and as are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for the sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
This, this is the Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, ooh, to bring Him laud
The Son, the babe of Mary

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Oh, this, this is the Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, ooh, to bring Him laud
The Christ, the Son of Mary
Of Mary
The Son, ooh, ooh yeah, of Mary, ooh, ooh
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah
[Scatting]
