And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteous-ness

What Child Is This?
Verse 1
What Child is this, who, laid to rest,
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?

While shepherds watch are keeping?

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.

Haste, haste to bring Him Laud,
The Babe the Son of Mary

Shining in the East, beyond them far
And to the earth it gave good light

O’er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
