What Child Is This / I Wonder as I Wander

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

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Savior did come for to die
For poor on'ry people like you and like I;
I wonder as I wander out under the sky

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
But high from God's Heaven a star's light did fall
What Child is this (what Child is this)?
The promise then recall

What Child is this (what Child is this)?
But high from God's Heaven a star's (is this) light did fall (a star's light did fall)
What Child is this, the promise of ages?
What Child is this?

This, this is Christ our King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
This, this is Christ our Lord
The babе, the son of Mary

What Child is this?
I wonder as I wander
