What Child Is This

Jessica Simpson

What child is this who laid to rest 
On Mary's lap is sleeping 
Whom angels greet with anthem sweet 
While shepherds watch are keeping 

This is Christ the Lord 
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing 
Haste, haste to bring him laud 
The babe, the son of Mary 

Why lies he in such mean estate 
Where ox and ass are feeding 
Good Christian fear, for sinners here 
The silent Word is pleading 

This is Christ the Lord 
Whom shepards guard and angels sing 
Haste,haste to bring him laud 
The babe, the son of Mary 

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

This is Christ the Lord 
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing 
Haste, haste to bring him laud 
The babe, the son of Mary
