What Child Is This?
Jamie Grace & Abandon Kansas Lyrics

What Child is this who, laid to rest
Who is this child that is peacefully sleeping, resting?

On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Who is being held by Mary as they rest?

Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,
Who is being welcomed by harmonious songs from Angels?

While shepherds watch are keeping?
Who is being guarded by shepherds as they rest?

This, this is Christ the King
It is Jesus Christ, the Ruler, who is being described

Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
Both shepherds and Angels are in awe of the same child, Jesus Christ, whom they are watching over and singing for

Haste, haste, to bring Him praise,
Let us hurry to give Jesus Christ the praise He deserves

The Babe, the Son of Mary.
This child is none other than Mary's son, Jesus Christ

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Let us present valuable gifts like incense, gold, and myrrh to this child

Come peasant, king to own Him;
Whether a person is a commoner or a monarch, they must acknowledge Jesus Christ and accept Him as their Savior

The King of kings salvation brings,
Jesus Christ, the ultimate Ruler, brings salvation to all people

Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Allow your caring heart to honor and uplift Jesus Christ

Jesus, Jesus
Jesus Christ is being praised and revered

How I trust Him
The singer expresses their complete trust in Jesus Christ

Oh to trust Him more
The singer desires to trust Jesus Christ even more

Feels so sweet to trust in Jesus
Having faith in Jesus Christ is a pleasant, endearing experience

Just to take Him at His word
Believing and obeying what Jesus Christ taught and promised is all that is necessary

Just to rest upon His promise
Finding comfort and peace in Jesus Christ's assurances

And to know "Thus saith the Lord"
To have confidence and certainty that what Jesus Christ teaches and commands comes from God
