What Child is This? (Where is He Now​?​)

from This December, This Year, This Christmas EP by Andy Shea

lyrics

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?

This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing.
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Why can’t I see my King today?
Stained blood spilt wrongly in His name.
Good Christians, bear the cross, the blame-
Stay silent, scared of speaking.

Nails, spear once pierced His side.
The cross he bore we must abide.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Two thousand years, two thousand more
We’ll praise Him on each Christmas morn.
By sunset pray we won’t move on -
Let faithful hearts keep beating

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