What Child Is This? - Rachel Hardy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Set to the beautiful tune of "Greensleeves", "What Child Is This" is one of my favourite traditional Christmas carols. The tune dates back to (at least) 1580, with the lyrics for "What Child Is This?" being written by William Chatterton Dix in 1865. I hope you enjoy my rendition; Happy Holidays!

Omg lads, it's Canadian national treasure/mountain-lady Rachel Hardy!
Mountain lady? 😂
@@user-ur4nl6dq2x Canadian mountains are awesome as well )
Canadia has mountains? I thought they had ski lodgers?
@@obadijahparks What do you go ski-ing down?
the lodge roofs
@@esoteric5187 lol I’m down to try it
Wow, what a talented singer. She's not forcing her voice. The words and sound just floats effortlessly from her.
Her voice is a lullaby,sweet,gentle,comforting.
Your voice is so beautiful. I have been listening to your music the last 5 years. In the meantime i have found to Jesus Christ and he turned my life completely around. I'm really glad to hear a christian song from you now. A very beautiful praise to our Lord!
Best wishes and God's blessings from Germany!
Amen
I admire your dedication to traditional Christmas carols and folk songs, as well as learning the history of said songs. Keep up the good work.
Now I feel that Christmas is coming.
Amazing! May God bless you, hail our lord jesus christ
Absolutely exquisite! "Greensleeves" / "What Child Is This" is one of my all-time favourite traditional melodies.
My favorite line is "Haste, Haste to bring him laud", no one brings anyone laud anymore, and when they do they take their damn time doing it.
Here is some laud just for you. I apologize, I know I took my time.
you're a gem, Karl
@@RachelHardy I appreciate that, but can I point out this comment is two years old… so I think I made my point
@@ktoth29 I love this line also. And it took a LOT of years for me to understand it. the point of the line is that we as humanity are ALREADY under YHVH Adonai wrath, and without this ManGod coming in my place and my future familys, we will ourselves personally face and receive this perfect just holy wrath- and unlike Him, I have my own incurable sin and sinfulness and would never recover. Only Jesus Christ Yeshua is so loved by the Father He would rend the veil of the temple in two to recover Him.
Only the Spirit of God promised by the prophets and the Son CAUSES anyone to have their eyes cracked open to realize the Laud he is due; and what an awesome line inviting ANY1 who is so moved to do so, as these 'wisemen from the East' were apparently miraculously led to do so long ago.
Absolutely GREAT on you bringing up this wonderful lyric 👍
@@ktoth29 it's so subtle! Great poetry!
Beautiful Rachel!! So fragile and so perfect!! Spread the love of that Baby, who died for all our sins! In this wicked world, this is what this Child is, or who He is: our true peace and only salvation!
Oh Yes I knew the wait was worth to hear a Beautiful Song from A Grand Lady with Her Angelic Voice. May The Good LORD continue to BLESS You. As I wait so patiently to From You Again Dear Sweet Lady. GOD BLESS on your Continue Success. 🕊❤.
Priase God
I want to hear a worship song from your voice.
God bless you. Keep going❤️❤️❤️
I am deaf and I just got a pair of bone conduction headphones... Gosh this is so sumptuous I am mesmerised.
Try the Julie Andrews version.
Wow .. I didn’t know those work for people with full hearing loss 😮
Legions of love to that voice and soul...may you forever be appreciated.
The MOST uncluttered and simply Beautiful rendition of this song (one of my favorites) that I've had the pleasure of listening to. Perfect harmonies. Simply Perfect. It's on my Christmas Playlist.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely beautiful song of Baby Jesus. Thankyou for sharing this awesome singing talent you have. Merry Christmas!!!
This goes on repeat for the next hour!
So I learned to play this on the recorder in 4th grade for some reason. My music teacher was pleased ... my family - not so much. What can I say, there was a steep learning curve

She has her moments. Not always but they are more then less.
@@binks123 listen to her toss a coin, good riddance, may it be- they exceed the originals
@@aeneas116116 Did a little more than that. Listened to her covers starting from circa around 2013 and the green headphones:)

Wonderful talent to model the voice so harmoniously! And on top of that she is stunningly attractive - what a great combination.
Her voice is treasure…. Thankfully

You have such a perfect voice for this. I always pictured this song as a medieval type. Love it!
I guess it’s set to Greensleeves which is from the 1500s, this is a great rendition of this with those harmonies!
Cudos, brava! You owned ever centimeter of this sacred song. Worshipful and stunning.
I love it already! Great song choice.

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
So bring him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, King to own Him;
The king of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
This, this is Christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the son of Mary
O raise, raise a song on high
His mother sings a lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The babe, the song of Mary
This, this is Christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary
What child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
This, this is Christ the king
The babe, the song of Mary
Thanks for those. (I think you mean "son" not "song" in a couple of places, mind.)
Greensleeves is one of the most hauntingly beautiful tunes ever written. Such a simple melody but full of so much emotion and the weight of history. Was always a favorite of mine to play when I needed to feel peaceful or calm. Beautiful job. Your voice is perfect for this style.
This voice just finds the way to your soul!!
How very beautiful.
Красивый голос, замечательно спели.

One of my favorites. Beautiful and graceful. Awesome job.
This is one of my favorite Christmas songs of all time (partly due to it being set to Greensleeves, but not entirely). What a phenomenal rendition. So good.
