Weihnachtslied - What Child Is This Lyrics

What child is this
who lay 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 shepherd 's guard and angels sing!
Haste haste to bring him lord

the babe the son of Mary!

Why lies he in such mean estate

where ox and ass are breathing?
Good christians fear for Santa's here
the silent word is beating.

This this is Christ the king...

So bring him in since gold and myrrh -
come rich come poor
to own him.
The king of kings salvation brings

let loving hearts enthrong him

This this is...
