What Child Is This? chords
William Chatterton Dix 1865 (words) music: Greensleeves
Em
Em D
What child is this, who, laid to rest
C B7
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Em D
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
C B7 Em
While shepherds watch are keeping?
G D
This, this is Christ the King,
C B7
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
G D
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
C B7 Em
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
Em D
Why lies he in such mean estate
C B7
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Em D
Good Christian, fear for sinners here,
C B7 Em
The silent Word is pleasing.
G D
This, this is Christ the King,
C B7
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
G D
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
C B7 Em
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
G D
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
C B7
The cross be borne for me, for you.
G D
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
C B7 Em
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
G D
This, this is Christ the King,
C B7
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
G D
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
C B7 Em
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
Em D
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
C B7
Come peasant king to own Him,
Em D
The King of kings, salvation brings,
C B7 Em
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
G D
This, this is Christ the King,
C B7
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
G D
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
C B7 Em
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
G D
Raise, raise the song on high,
C B7
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
G D
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
C B7 Em
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
