Tomlin, Chris - What Child Is This? Lyrics






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 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

Nails, spears shall pierce Him through
The Cross He bore for me, for you
Hail, hail the Word made flesh the Babe
The Son of Mary

    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 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

  35. K.... K....

    Awesome song love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

  36. H.... ....

    Let it be known that the original song is called Greensleeves and is about a prostitute. Christian plagiarism at it's finest...

    H.... ....

    The original is not British since this is based on Italian style of compostition. I suppose you believe king Henry composed it ?which is very unlikely to be true considering it come to England after Henry died .so there isn't an "original "since bards of that time tend to borrow from different sources and compose different song with the same tune.besides the idea of plagiarism didn't exist back then .and considering how important faith was to the people of that time (and is still is to many today) are you really that surprised that someone (since we dont know who) wrote this song to commemorate the birth of the messiah (a central figure in his faith)?

  37. I.... S....

    Greensleeves

  38. M.... ....

    Merry Christmas. Jesus is coming soon.

  39. J.... A....

    Beautiful version. 

    Lyrics are: "Nails, spear shall pierce him through, the cross be borne for me, for you." There was only one spear - that's important. And it's in the future, not the past so you can't say "He bore"

  66. d.... ....

    UGHHHHHHH I HAVE TO SING THIS BUT OJK

    I Merry Christmas Chris Tomlin an family n friends thanks for such a wonderful gift I ohso love my favorite God has blessed with to spread perfect gift I am so thankful some Merry Christmas everyone May everybody have peace love and joy amen♡

  75. A.... M....

    While I appreciate your team putting the chords in the video, the chords are for the key half a step below. You show chords from the key of E minor, but this song is in F minor. A beginning guitarist may not understand they need to capo fret one and then play these chord shapes. I recommend you amend it when possible +ChrisTomlinVEVO

    A.... M....

    they did say at the beginning of song, that it is CAPO 1, but I do get what you're saying, because it goes past quite quickly

  76. L.... K....

    This is the best song in the world

  77. L.... K....

    This is the best song

    L.... K....

    This is the best song in the world

  78. T.... ....

    "For God so loved the world He sent His only begotten son."

    Christ is King, now and forever. All Hail Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, the Lord of All.

    T.... ....

    Also Jesus Died For You, almost all prophesies have come true. We have yet to experience Jesus’s prophecy of coming back to Earth for a second time. Jesus himself doesn’t even know when that day will come, only God the Father knows

    T.... ....

    @Tixle do Christians believe that god will forgive them all ? For Whatever they do ?

    T.... ....

    @Tixle we all know that jesus will be back on earth because he didn't die that's for sure but he is not the son of god like how????

    T.... ....

    Alright I’ll try to explain this, so Jesus has always existed. There is 3 parts to God, but he is one God. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus was always a part of God from the beginning. But, he was sent down by God once Mary said yes. Jesus then became human. Making him 100% God and 100% human. Also yes, Christians believe that God will forgive all of their sins, as long as they are sincere about their apology in the confessional. There is one exception to this, which Jesus speaks of in the Bible. Matthew 12:30-32 says "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, any sin and blasphemy can be forgiven. But blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.” So any sin will be forgiven except if you intentionally blaspheming the Holy Spirit.

    I wanted to say I had a hard time holding back tears, I failed, they're spinning along my face even as I write, beautiful, make me miss heaven, you heard me right, there is no place like home, right? Thank you Jesus, love Apostle, Pat, Apb.

    A really beautiful song.

  89. K.... H....

    why would anyone dislike this

    K.... H....

    Cuz probably is a tweaked version of Greensleeves. But this is good too

    K.... H....

    Being an atheist and a fan of the original (Greensleeves)

  90. K.... H....

    simple and beautiful.
    Well done

  91. L.... P....

    Jesus is not the Son of Mary. He is the Son of the Living God.

    M.... G....

    @Jasmine Duthie Duthie http://biblehub.com/john/19-26.htm
    Mary was "disowned" by Jesus. She is no longer His mother becuase He is now back to His full glory that He had before He entered this world.

    M.... G....

    TF4ORMERS you not catholic aren't you

    M.... G....

    Marvel Gamer John took Mary into his home at the command of Jesus Christ. It wasn't a disowning. Please be kind.

    M.... G....

    He's also the Son of man. Mary being part of man-kind.

    M.... G....

    In short, Jesus is God!

  94. n.... ....

    The chords shown are not the key they are actually singing it in. Why???

    n.... ....

    Capo on 1

    n.... ....

    +Ruvim Trofimovich I'm a vocalist, and was trying to find a recording in the same key we were going to play it in, so I could pick out a harmony part. Thought this one was going to work, but then realized it was actually in a different key. A capo is fine if you're playing guitar &/or not playing with others, but not so great for other instruments.

  95. l.... ....

    I sing this song at carol
