Thought of the day….

• Day 22 – Advent 2024

  What Child is this who, laid to rest

  On Mary’s lap, is sleeping?
  Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
  While the good shepherds watch are keeping?

  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, oh raise, the song on high
  His mother sings her lullaby
  Joy, oh joy, for Christ is born
  The Babe, the Son of Mary

  What Child is this
  What Child is this (what Child is this)

  This, this is Christ the King
  Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
  Haste, haste, to bring Him laud
  The Babe (oh the Babe), the Son (and the son) of Mary (of Mary, Mary, Mary)
  Of Mary (of Mary)
  Of Mary
