What Child is This?

[Intro: Bill Champlin]
An angel's song is sung
Mary's time has come to pass
The Lord will have a Son
Wise men come
To welcome home the child

[Verse 1: Bill Champlin]
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: Bill Champlin]
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing, ooh
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary, Mary
(An angel's song is sung
Mary's time has come to pass)

[Verse 2: Bill Champlin]
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: Bill Champlin]
Raise, raise the song on high
The Virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy, for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary, ooh, Mary
(An angel's song is sung
Wise men come to welcome home the child)

[Verse 3: Bill Champlin]
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

[Bridge: Bill Champlin]
An angel's song is sung
(Sing a song)
Mary's time has come to pass
(Time has come at last)
The Lord will have a Son
Wise men come
To welcome home the child

[Outro: Bill Champlin]
Welcome home
Mary's time has come to pass
The Lord will have a Son
Wise men come
To welcome home the child
