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.
Why lies he in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent word is pleading.
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.
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.

as a Jew i was taught to reject Jesus, but Christmas songs touched my heart. I had everything in life yet my heart was empty till i yielded to my Messiah (Isaiah 52:13-chapter 53:12) now my best friend. I hail the Word made flesh.now life is enthroned in His loving care. I spread it everywhere Acts 1:8 in the power of His love. .

This is excellent! Its really nice to find a version of this song where the proper words are used along with all the verses in the correct order. I have just watched it three times and its given me some really good ideas. I am singing this song along with playing an Irish whistle tomorrow in my church carol service, and I am going to adopt some her techniques in singing this song. It was wonderful.
