VERSE 1: AmG
What Child is this, who laid to rest AmE7
On Mary's lap is sleeping, AmG
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, AmEAm
While shepherds watch are keeping?
CHORUS: CG
This, this is Christ the King, AmE7
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. CG
Haste, haste to bring Him laud: AmE7Am
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
VERSE 2: AmG
Why lies He in such mean estate AmE7
Where ox and ass are feeding? AmG
Good Christian, fear, for sinners here AmEAm
The silent Word is pleading.
VERSE 3: AmG
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh; AmE7
Come peasant, king to own Him. AmG
The King of kings salvation brings: AmEAm
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Eclesiastul 11:9Bucură-te, tinere, în tinereţea ta, fii cu inima veselă cât eşti tânăr, umblă pe căile alese de inima ta şi plăcute ochilor tăi, dar să ştii că, pentru toate acestea, te va chema Dumnezeu la judecată.
