What Child Is This Chords
from "The Soul Felt Its Worth"
Intro/Interludes: Am C G Em
F Dm E7
Am C G Em
What Child is this, who laid to rest
F Dm E7
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Am C G Em
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
Am E7 Am
While shepherds watch are keeping.
C G
This, this is Christ the King,
Am F E7
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
C G
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
Am E7 Am
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Am C G Em
Why lies He in such mean estate,
F Dm E7
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Am C G Em
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
Am E7 Am
The silent Word is pleading.
C G
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
Am F E7
The cross be borne for me, for you.
C G
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
Am E7 Am
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Am C G Em
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
F Dm E7
Come, peasant, king, to own Him;
Am C G Em
The King of kings salvation brings,
Am E7 Am
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
C G
Raise, raise a song on high,
Am F E7
The Virgin sings her lullaby.
C G
Joy, joy for Christ is born,
Am E7 Am
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
