What Child Is This Songtext
von Chicago

An angel′s song is sung
Mary's time has come to pass
The Lord will have a Son
Wise men come
To welcome home the child

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 Babe, the Son of Mary, Mary

An angel's song is sung
Mary's time has come to pass


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 the song on high
The Virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy, for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Ooh, Mary

An angel′s song is sung
Wise men come
To welcome home the child

What child is this
Who laid to rest
On Mary′s lap is sleeping?

Whom angels greet
With anthems sweet
While shepherds
Shepherds watch are keeping?


An angel's song is sung
(Sing a song)
Mary′s time has come to pass
(Time has come at last)
The Lord will have a Son
Wise men come
To welcome home the child

Welcome home
Mary's time has come to pass
The Lord will have a Son
Wise men come
To welcome home the child
