Testi musica canzoni

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


Chorus:

This, this is christ the king
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 cattle are feeding
Good christian fear for sinners here
The silent world is pleading

Repeat 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

Repeat chorus:
