What Child Is This/Child of the Poor

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?Refrain
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 pleadingRefrain
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 3 (What Child is This)
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come, peasant, king to own Him.
The King of kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.Refrain
This, this is Christ, the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!\ [Concurrent]
\
\ Verse 3 (Child of the Poor)
\ Bring all the thirsty, all who seek peace;
\ Bring those with nothing to offer;
\ Strengthen the feeble, say to the frightened heart,
\ Fear not: here is your God.”
\
\ Refrain
\ Who is this who lives with the lowly,
\ Sharing their sorrows, knowing their hunger?
\ This is Christ revealed to the world in the eyes of a child,
\ A child of the poor.

One Small Child

Verse 1
One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream of a Savior tonight
One small hand reaching out to the starlight
One small city of life; one small city of lifeVerse 2
One king bringing his gold and riches
One King ruling an army of might
One king kneeling with incense and candlelight
One King bringing us life
See Him lying, a cradle beneath Him
See Him smiling in the stall
See His mother praising His Father
See His tiny eyelids fallVerse 3
One small light from the flame of a candle
One small light from a city of might
One small light from the stars in the endless night
One small light from a face
See the shepherds kneeling before Him
See the kings on bended knee
See His mother praising His Father
See the Blessed Infant sleepVerse 4
One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream in a people of might
One small hand reaching out to the starlight
One small Savior of life

O Holy Night

Verse 2
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of the star so sweetly gleaming
Here come the Wise Men from Orient land
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friendRefrain 2
He knows our need,
to our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King!
Before him lowly bend
Behold your King!
Before him lowly bendFinal Ending
Fall on your knees!
Oh! Hear the angel voices
O night divine O night when Christ was born
O night divine! O night, O night divine!
