Young Oceans What Child Is This
[Intro]
Oh, this, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
[Verse 1]
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, King to own Him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
Raise, raise a song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary
[Verse 2]
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
And nails, spear shall pierce Him through
The Cross be borne for me, for you
Hail, hail, the Word made flesh
The Babe, the Son
[Verse 3]
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 laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
[Outro]
Oh, raise, raise a song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
And joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary
