What Child is This

beautiful song, love the melody...!

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 are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners 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 a song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby.
Joy, joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

The best thing to do if one has nothing good to say is to shut his/her mouth so that no one is offended. Let's always remember the golden rule: Do not do unto others what you do not want them to do unto you. Simple. . .make everybody happy; let's be happy.

3 people never been child

what i meant was its impossible for us to understand, for the lord is so great. OH GREAT IS THE LORD ON HIGH!!!!!!!

[haydenhtb]

listen up, Jesus Christ is God, the messaiha, the savior, the tora says so itself, a king will rise as a peasant, and it describes a messaihia, the savior. and then israels rejection of him. if Jesus was just a prophet, then y would God let him get away with calling himself God? because last time i checked, only God can make a prophet be a prophet, and Jesus was born in the house of david, as a descendant of david. just as the tora. and there is only one God, in three persons, its impossible

@adamantis4657 and @ioanaval :

God doesn't tell us to love him or worship him or believe in him. He didn't tell us to, nor command us to. He gave us a decision. We all have our beliefs and God doesn't want us to disrespect other beliefs. Just because we believe something different, does not mean we should disrespect it. He teaches us, not command us. I agree we should fight for what we believe in, but not eachother. This is a beautiful song and we should enjoy it instead of fight about

@ioanaval: NO U WILL GO TO HELL because everyone who does not CONFESS THAT CHRIST IS TRUE GOD will not be saved!

CHRIST IS GOD INCARNATED. He is the EMMANUEL - GOD WITH US!

ALLHOLY TRINITY GLORY TO THEE!+++

What a beautiful rendition of this song, it is so lovely thanks for posting!

[ioanaval]

@adamantis4657 Wow, your doing the wrong thing and refuse to change, I guess your going against God's command not to worship his prophets, God did not become his creation, he was not Jesus. how can you say or believe such a thing as that, well your the one going to hell for not doing what God has commanded you to do, believe in him ONLY, not anything else. but its your decision, i told you what is right, up to you on what you decide.

This song tears my heart every time I hear it, for I love the original lyrics more than these. This is just another thing the christians took and made their own; and it saddens me. I hope I didn't insult anyone, but for me Lady Greensleeves will always be better than "what child is this".

@ioanaval: U are wrong Jesus Christ is LORD, He is God, He is our Master - we worshipp Him, we love Him, we praise Him, we give thanks to Him,...

Jesus Christ is God incarnated - the Saviour, the Messiah!
