Friends, I recently came across this beautiful book of Poetry - Please check it out: http://www.amazon.com/Mysticism-Love-Poems-Reality-Others/dp/0557372658/ref=s...
"What Child Is This?" is a popular Christmas carol that was written in 1865. At the age of twenty-nine, writer William Chatterton Dix was struck with a sudden near-fatal illness and confined to bedrest for several months, during which he went into a deep depression. Yet out of his near-death experience, Dix wrote many hymns, including 'What Child is This?" It was later set to the traditional English melody of "Greensleeves".
We would like To thank The Mormon Tabernacle Choir for This Beautiful Song.

I love this edition! I am not Christian, but this song and Ave maria really moves me.
