What Child is This


Forget for a moment the tree, the gifts, the food, the parties, and the decorations and let’s focus on the Nativity scene. The Bible passage’s concerning the birth of Jesus Christ remind us that there was only one Christmas-all the rest are merely anniversaries.

Isaiah 9:6-“For unto to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

What child is this, who lays to rest,
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 praise,
the Babe, the Son of Mary.

So bring him incense, gold and myrrh;
Come, peasant king, to own him.
The King of King’s salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone him.

This, this is Christ the King
whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring him praise,
the Babe, the Son of Mary.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
