Child of the Poor, What Child Is This? Notre Dame Folk Group

*sniff*sniff*sniff*........thi s song touches my heart that i shamelessly cried......beautifully sung as it is.......as Advent is drawing close.....I can see myself in the song......with the Child who lives among the poor......who is close to our hearts and our souls......*sniff*sniff*...... .

Does anyone know where they acquired the license to cover this song?

My group has been adding original songs to an upcoming Christmas charity compilation album, but we need some carols too by November.

(The link to our Facebook group is on my Youtube profile, if anyone else wants to contribute too!)

@OrpheusWorks I think this song is old enough that it doesn't need a license to be performed.

Absolutely beautiful. I Just kept hitting repeat. Heck, I'm still just hitting repeat. Beautiful.

So glad you liked it. Many thanks to Notre Dame Folk Group in Hermitage PA.

If I have heard correctly, I believe Henry VIII of England wrote Greensleeves.

hasnt this got the greensleeves tune in it?
really nice though

@mulan187 Yeah, What Child Is This is a Christmas carol to the tune of Greensleeves.

I love this song, we sang it for our Christmas services. The video is a little depressing but real so it makes you think of the hungry and poor and what we need to do more!!

I cry every time I hear this song. It's so sad but I love it so much because if not for songs like this the only way we know about homeless and poor people if those ones who stand at intersections holding signs and asking for food. it's sad and I always give them something. Who else does?
