Artist/Band: Burl Ives
Lyrics for Song: What child is this?
Lyrics for Album: 20th Century Masters [2003]



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 Christian fear, for sinners here

The silent Word is pleading



So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh

Come peasant king to own Him

The King of kings, salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone Him



This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him laud

The babe, the son of Mary

1. Holly Jolly Christmas
2. I heard the bells on Christmas day
3. It came upon the midnight clear
4. O little town of Bethlehem
5. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
7. Silent night, holy night
8. Silver and gold
9. Silver bells
10. Twelve days of Christmas
11. What child is this?
12. White Christmas
13. Winter wonderland
