JIM BRICKMAN
"What Child Is This?"
(William Chatterton Dix / Traditional)

What child is this
Who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthem sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
This, this is Christ the King
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Jim Brickman What Child Is This? Lyrics

Why lies He in such mean estate

Where ox and lamb are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading

This, this is Christ the King, etc

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh

Come, peasant, kin to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

This this is Christ the King...etc
