Wretched Graverobber - What Child Is This
Album: Christmas Spirit

***********************************************

[Verse 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?

[Verse 2]:

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the son of Mary

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]:

Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ass and donkey are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading

[Verse 4]:

Nails, spears shall pierce Him through
The cross He bore for me, for you
Hail, hail the Word made flesh
The Babe, the Son of Mary

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]:

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant king to love Him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

[Verse 6]:

Raise, raise a song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The babe, the Son of Mary

[Guitar Solo]
