What Child Is This Arranged for NAF by Mike Foster Traditional Christmas Carol Melody: Greensleeves (16th Century English Air) - Lyrics by William Chatterton Dix (1865) NAF NAF 5 NAF 9 NAF 13 1) What child is this, who, laid to rest 2) Why lies he in such mean estate On Mary's lap is sleeping Where ox and ass are feeding Whom angels greet with anthems sweet Good Christian fear, for sinners here While shepherds watch are keeping The silent Word is pleading This, this is Christ the King Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through Whom shepherds guard and angels sing The Cross be borne, for me, for you Haste, haste to bring Him laud Hail, hail, the Word made flesh The babe, the son of Mary The babe, the son of Mary 3) 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
