What Child is This – Key of Am
Am G/B C G Em Am F/A E
What Child is this who, laid to rest, On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Am G/B C G Em Am E2* Am
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping?
[CHORUS]
Em7 C2 G Em Am F/A E
This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
Em7 C2 G Em Am E2* Am
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary.
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/misc_christmas/what_child_is_this_crd_ver_4.html ]
Why lies He in such mean estate, Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here The silent Word is pleading.
[CHORUS]
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.
[CHORUS]
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]
Raise, raise a song on high, The virgin sings her lullaby.
Joy, joy for Christ is born, The Babe, the Son of Mary.
