Subject: Xmas WHAT CHILD IS THIS
WHAT CHILD IS THIS?
William Chatterton Dix/Traditional. publ.1865
What Child is this, who laid to rest, [Em G D Bm]
On Mary's lap is sleeping? [Em Bm]
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet [Em G D Bm]
While shepherds watch are keeping? [Em B7 Em]
This, this is Christ the King [Bm G D Bm]
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. [Em Bm]
Haste, haste to bring Him laud, [Bm G D Bm]
The Babe, the Son of Mary. [Em B7 Em]
Why lies he in such mean estate Where ox and a*s are feeding? Good
Christian, fear for sinners here, The silent Word is pleasing. (repeat
refrain)
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
refrain)
