Celtic Woman - What Child Is This Lyrics

She is a nightingale.

Pretty bad ass, I am good with that.

How beautiful

Her voice is like an instrument!

Oh my goodness that's beautiful!

What a Voice ❤️❤️❤️

a heavenly voice .. truly amazing

Why do they stop making new celebrations?

What Child is This? A very popular song during the reign of Queen Elizabeth of England was My Lady Greensleeves. Shakespeare frequently referred to the song as being one of the most popular of his day. following are the words of this charming old English love-song:
Alas! My love you do me wrong.
To cast me off discourteously,
for I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company.
(Refrain)
Greensleeves was all my joy,
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And all for my Lady Greensleeves.
The above words are no longer in use but the melody is still popular,being used for the carols, What child is This? and The Old Year Now Has fled away. Here is a vivid example of how old carol-tunes are often merely popular folk-tunes. These traditional folk-tune carols are as a rule more beautiful and charming than the composed carols.
What child is This?is a favorite lullaby carol in England.It was originally edited by Sir John Stainer (1840-1901) has many fine arrangements of old carol-tunes. The eminent organist and composer of England was beloved and esteemed by all who knew him. He served as organist at the University of Oxford and later at St.Paul's Cathedral. although his forte was organ playing, he has made lasting contributions in the field of composition.In america he is perhaps, bust known for his great cantata, The Crucifixion
Written by: William C. Dix (1837-1898)
Composition: Old English Air "My Lady Greensleeves"
Merry Christmas!

das lied läst engel erwachen

Ist dat Deutch?

Sorry, but over produced, sugary and no real passion Best version to me is Sissel's.

wasslic true, I like quite some songs of theirs but this one's bland on me. Check out Andrea Bocelli Mary J's live performance. I haven't the Andrea's studio recorded solo

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?

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.

Oh, raise, raise a song on high,
His mother sings her lullaby.
Joy, oh 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.

What Child
Is this
Who laid
To rest
On Mary's lap
On Mary's lap
He is sleeping

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

The Babe, the Son of Mary

The Son of Mary

I know these women are big...but they deserve to be 100 times bigger than they are. I hope I get a chance to experience them live one day.

Not going to lie I first thought you meant something else hahaha

They're going to be in Spokane, WA in May 2020. I've already bought my tickets.

I love this song ..CELTIC WOMAN ARE THE GREATEST.

I don't know about anyone else... but I greatly enjoy most all of their songs :)
