What Child is this who's laid to rest,
-7 7 -6 -6 6 -6 -7 6 5
On Mary's la-p is slee-ping?
-6 7 -8 8 -9 8 -8 -7 6 -6
Whom Angels greet with an-thems sweet,
-7 7 -7 -6 -6b 6 -6b -6 -6
While shep-herds wa--tch are keeping?
Chorus:
9 9 -9 8 -8 -7 6 -6
This, this is Christ the Ki-ng,
-7 7 -6 -6 6 -6 -7 6 5
Whom shepherds guard and An-gels sing;
9 9 -9 8 -8 -7 6 -6
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
-7 7 -7 -6 -6b 6 -6b -6 -6
The Babe, the So--n of- Ma-ry.
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, spear shall pierce Him through,
The cross be borne 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.
Are you having trouble hitting the notes you want?
Does your playing lack soul, feeling and rhythm?
Do your notes sound airy and sometimes don't play at all?
