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.
Why lies He in such mean estate where ox and ass (lamb) are feeings?
Good Christian, fear for sinner here, the silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through, the cross be borne for me, for you.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh, the Babe, the Son of Mary.
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.

I've been enjoying your videos on the history of the hymns. This morning we sang "Go Tell It On The Mountain" and I wondered if you might be interested in doing a history video on this one?
Thank you for the comment! I will look into putting together some history for that hymn/Christmas Carol as well! Thanks for the idea! :)
Very well composed, and wonderfully scored.
Take care, and all the best.
Thank you for the post! Blessings!
