Christmas Carol- What Child is this- Aka Greensleeves- Happy Christmas!

A Christmas Carol played on Piano and Mandolin, hope you like this one and Happy Christmas!
1 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?
Chorus:
This, this is Christ, the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
2 Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.[Chorus]
3 So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come, peasant, king to own Him.
The King of kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.[Chorus]

Greetings once again Damien & Jim ... what a wonderful start to the festive season to hear your rendition of this lovely tune. My wife's Choir are singing this on Christmas Eve, so it has gone from being a new carol (to me!) to one I'm now getting very familiar with. (I have not been asked to give a banjo accompaniment as yet !!) Here's hoping you all have a great Christmas and Happy New Year. Kind Regards, Ed.

Thanks Ed! Happy Christmas to you and your wife. I wonder how this one would sound on the banjo, probably good! Best Wishes. Damian & Jim
