What Child Is This?
St. James Choir of Angels 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,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here,
The silent Word is pleading.
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
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!
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
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.
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Raise, raise, the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
The song "What Child Is This?" by St. James Choir of Angels is a Christmas carol that expresses the wonder and awe of the birth of Jesus Christ. The lyrics describe Jesus as a newborn baby, laying in Mary's lap as angels sing and shepherds watch over him. It emphasizes that this child is not just any baby, but Christ the King, the savior of humanity. The chorus urges all to haste and bring Him laud (praise) as the son of Mary.
The second verse of the song shifts focus to the more solemn aspects of Jesus' life, including his eventual crucifixion. The lyrics describe how Jesus lies in a humble manger, surrounded by farm animals, pleading silently for the sinners of the world. The verse ends with a foreboding message, warning that nails and a spear will eventually pierce him on the cross for the sake of humanity.
The song then goes back to a joyful tone in the final verse, imploring all to bring gifts and enthrone Jesus as the king of kings. The Virgin Mary is also celebrated in this verse as she sings a lullaby to her newborn son, bringing joy to all who hear.
Overall, "What Child Is This?" is a beautiful expression of the miracle and majesty of Jesus' birth, as well as a reminder of the solemn responsibility that comes with being a believer in his teachings.

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

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!

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.
