What Child is This?

[Intro: Bill Champlin]

An angel's song is sung

Mary's time has come to pass

The Lord will have a Son

Wise men come

To welcome home the child

[Verse 1: Bill Champlin]

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

[Chorus: Bill Champlin]

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing, ooh

Haste, haste to bring him laud

The Babe, the Son of Mary, Mary

(An angel's song is sung

Mary's time has come to pass)

[Verse 2: Bill Champlin]

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh

Come peasant king to own Him

The King of kings, salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone Him

[Chorus: Bill Champlin]

Raise, raise the song on high

The Virgin sings her lullaby

Joy, joy, for Christ is born

The Babe, the Son of Mary, ooh, Mary

(An angel's song is sung

Wise men come to welcome home the child)

[Verse 3: Bill Champlin]

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

[Bridge: Bill Champlin]

An angel's song is sung

(Sing a song)

Mary's time has come to pass

(Time has come at last)

The Lord will have a Son

Wise men come

To welcome home the child

[Outro: Bill Champlin]

Welcome home

Mary's time has come to pass

The Lord will have a Son

Wise men come

To welcome home the child
