Vince Gill - What Child Is This? [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1:]
What Child is this, who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?

[Chorus:]
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary

[Verse 2:]
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
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!

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, king to own Him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

[Chorus]

[Verse 4:]
Raise, raise, the song on high
The Virgin sings her lullaby
Joy joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
