what child is this

Why lies He in such mean estate,

Where ox and ass are feeding?

Good Christian, 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, the song on high,

The Virgin sings her lullaby:

Joy, joy, for Christ is born,

The Babe, the Son of Mary!

-What Child is This?

Verses 2 & 3

Christ is born, friends!

Merry Christmas, indeed!
