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
Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding
The end of fear for all who hear
The silent Word is speaking
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 love 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 praise
The babe, the son of Mary
Raise, raise the song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The babe, the son of Mary

Whenever I watch someone sing about Jesus, I always hope that they believe as I do. Eternity with god. Hope to see jm there.

[@RFWieder]

No one can deliver a Christmas song like Johnny Mathis!!

[@101snapper]

If a Johnny Mathis Christmas song doesn't touch your soul, I really don't know what to say!

[@michaeljordan-ws8bw]

And why at the age of 62 does this beautiful version by the great Johnny Mathis bring tears?

[@denniscoxson6363]

Lost my momma 3-8-2023.. this is my first Christmas without her. This was one of her all time Favorite Christmas songs

[@lisarodriguez2926]

So sorry for your loss. This is indeed a beautiful song❤

[@KidChaos221]

I'm not an overall Johnny Mathis fan but this is absolute perfection---from the choir to the subtle orchestration of harp and guitar, allowing his voice to command every phrase. This is how it's done, people. Chills.

[@jamespaule6793]

Johnny Mathis and Percy Faith make this album priceless. No better combination exists.

[@eugenetidwell1367]

Johnny Mathis and his background singers make this song an all-time exceptional rendition of WHAT. CHILD IS THIS that I have ever experienced.

[@timjohnson8464]

Reminder of the 60, Record.

[@edlexvalencia9177]

Peace on Earth of the Philippine CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS! World Peace.

[@josephbrownjr.2046]

This is the most beautiful version of this song ever sung!

[@bigmouthentertainment3095]

definitely

[@duracurvature]

The last verse and last note are so powerful. The last note resolves the somewhat somber tone of the song and proclaims that just like the resolving of the key the song is written in, Christ has power to resolve the pain, hurt, anger snd sin that we face in our lives. Because of Him, we have hope. “The babe, the Son of Mary”

[@ThomasHathaway-ft9fu]

That is so beautiful. Thank you. Now this song has found even greater meaning. Emmanuel! God is with us!

[@luthermaddox2991]

[@queennef4782]

Fantastic. Thanks Dad for playing Johnny Mathis records in the Seventies. A true artist, perfection, Christmas and any time of the year. We need this in Dec 2020

[@ruthliberty2366]

Was looking for this beautiful song for a while, but got confused with "When a Child is born"...( Getting forgetful now. Old age. ) LoL. And I could not choose anyone better than JM with his awesome. voice to make my Christmas week any better. Thank-you, Johnny, the one and only...

I am 69 years old and my father brought me up on Johnny Mathis and I love his voice I love his singing Johnny Mathis if you could hear me I would love to sing with you I would just love to sing one song with you I have followed you all my life my name is Luther Maddox I live in San Antonio Texas I have followed your music all my life

[@TheBerrymo2]

God bless this man and the true message Christmas bless Christian people everywhere and people off all faiths

[@junehallaran5897]

This is absolutely the best version of this song for all the reasons already named in the comments! I've been listening to this Christmas album my whole life and found that his 'O Holy Night' is also the best version of that song. Just wonderful. Just wonderful. One thing I noticed is that his intros are very unique--once you've heard them you know which song is coming--and there are other artists that are using his intros. Copycats...

[@laryjohnson5736]

I love listening to Johnny Mathis sing.

[@JesusLover3412]

I never get tired of his amazing voice singing Christmas carols!! I cherish it every year!

[@eye2eye2012]

Something set me about to listen to a multitude of versions of this song. So many were good and I enjoyed them thoroughly. Then I came to this one. My entire being stopped. I held my arms close to self, chills went up and down my legs, my eyes closed tightly and moistened. Listening to Mr. Mathis sing is comparable to watching one of the finest athletes that ever existed. Grace, strength, control, mastery, timing, interpretation, connection to soul. His breath control alone is magnificent to attune to. I am overwhelmed here, as my eyes remain moist. Love you Johnny Mathis.

[@tracythomas6855]

Absolutely beautiful song...could listen all day....love Johnny mathis...he has an amazing voice..

[@bigmouthentertainment3095]

i could listen it all day too

[@abeckett1834]

Amazing is.amazing in it self....it's a gift from to us all

[@jordanmicahcook]

This is my favorite version of this song, hands down!

[@nancyinboise2160]

I was such a fan growing up and he was always doing so many sort of romantic fast pop songs. This one really showed his vocal strength and range. Pretty obvious to me he's probably lip-syncing but not a surprise back in those days. Sad that he had to be closeted so long but what a great singer

[@KKruse-jb4cu]

I love his rendition of this song.

[@betsbellingham6986]

Absolutely utterly awesome... What pure joy to listen to him. I am an ardent fan of his since a very young age and even more so that I've hit the 70 mark....

[@carmencitahgarcia]

Forever favourite. 😊😊😊😊 Nobody can match his amazing voice ❤❤❤

[@maryhall5955]

JOHNNY AGAIN THE BEST SINGING CHRISTMAS Songs. Thank You for the wonderful sounds. MARY ❤

[@shirleyjennings5787]

[@SweetTea742]

What a beautiful song! This is the BEST version! The depth, the emotions, the build, the chills of this song, the heart in it, the power! I'm lost for words and my heart drops and pores raise at 3:40 every single time. Thank you for this upload!

[@caseybogs3056]

They don't make them like that anymore. God bless Johnny Mathis!!!

If anyone was born during my era 1951-present I would hope you will agree that when I say the two best male singers during these years were Johnny Mathis and Perry Como!
