Battistelli, Francesca - What Child Is This? (First Noël Prelude) Lyrics

My friend and I did this for a duet last Christmas and it was really good. Thx for the song Francesca!

It’s sad that her Christmas songs get no radio play during the Christmas season.

I actually heard this on pandora the other day

Someone please tell me how 20 people could dislike this? The singer is *SO* talented

Absolutely Beautiful Rendition!!!

The first Noël
The angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay

In fields where they
Lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night
That was so deep

Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel

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.

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 a song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby.
Joy, joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

how do I know this is the real singer he could of did a crap copyright and steal it from her the real singer should get more credit then the publisher u can tell by his profile photo that its not her so its copyright I dislike the publisher but like the song tho I need to find the real video!

+didlyblocks this is Fancesca Battistelli

shut up nah

Wow, it's so great to here a singer actually do a "traditional" version of these songs :') And she is a really great singer too!

I am singing this for a solo, and I can't wait! I stumbled on it when looking for performance track of What Child is This; I really love the combination of the two songs! 

Where can I get this karaoke? I'm looking at doing this for a solo.

I was able to get a performance track at my local Christian Bookstore.

Where I live there's no Christian bookstores. Is there a website?

This girl has talent
God bless you ( go Christmas)

Love this song makes me cry! God bless you!

This song makes me cry every time I play it. :) Thank you Jesus

oh yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is so Beautiful!!

Thanks for putting this up
