What Child Is This?
Andrea Bocelli & Mary J. Blige Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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,
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, 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, the song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby,
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
The song "What Child Is This" is a traditional Christmas Carol that tells the story of Jesus' birth from the perspective of shepherds and the Virgin Mary. The first verse sets the scene with Mary holding her newborn son, while angels sing and the shepherds watch over them. The second verse explores the significance of Jesus' birth, questioning why the King of all creation would be born into such humble circumstances. The answer comes in the form of a warning to those who would take His sacrifice for granted, that nails and a spear would pierce His flesh on the cross. The final verse concludes with a call to worship and adore the baby, bringing gifts of incense, gold, and myrrh, no matter one's social status, because Christ is the King of all.

What Child Is This?
Que criança é esta, que, colocado para descansar
No colo de Maria, está dormindo?
Quem anjos cumprimentam com doçura de hinos
Enquanto relógio de pastores está mantendo?
Este, este é o Cristo Rei
Quem guarda e pastores os anjos cantam
Pressa pressa, para trazê-lo de Senhor
O Bebê, o Filho de Maria
Assim traga incenso, ouro e myrth
Venha o camponês, o rei, a Ele
O Rei dos reis, a salvação traz
Deixe corações amorosos O empossar
Este, este é o Cristo Rei
Quem guarda e pastores os anjos cantam
Pressa pressa, para trazê-lo de Senhor
O Bebê, o Filho de Maria
Este, este é o Cristo Rei
Quem guarda e pastores os anjos cantam
Pressa pressa, para trazê-lo de Senhor
O Bebê, o Filho de Maria
Este, este é o Cristo Rei
Quem guarda e pastores os anjos cantam
Pressa pressa, para trazê-lo de Senhor
O Bebê, o Filho de Maria

No other performance can compare to this one!
Their emotion as they sing always gives me goosebumps..
Glory to God for the babe that would become my savior, my salvation. The light to my darkness, the love so unconditionally given so that I will forever dwell in his holy spirit.
The King of Kings and the Lord of Lord's! There is no other than
Jesus Christ!
Merry Christmas.. God bless to all and may you know the reason for the season.

I love Christianity. I am a Hindu still I feel to have the greatest reverence on this religion. They gave me a good education with a minimum fee, not so expansive even poor can offer.

Remember it's catholicism. Nowadays the other christians are very corrupted by the social liberalism. The unic that remains a stronghold of the TRUE christianity is the CATHOLIC CHURCH

Gabriel de Souza True. I converted to Catholicism about 2 years ago after the Baptist church I went to started to talk more about politics and Trump more than the Bible. I see Catholicism as more pure now.
