lyrics

What Child Is This?
Powers/Schneeberger/Dix

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 1

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

Kings bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
The Nations bow before Him
The King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

Chorus 2

Raise, raise a song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby;
Hail, hail the world made flesh,
This Child, the Son of Mary.

Verse 3

Who then is this on Zion’s height
His flesh and blood He offers
His life released, Himself our feast
He dying, Death devours

Verse 4

Here in His death
The Word made flesh
In glory now appearing
For risen light has scattered night
The Holy One revealing

Chorus 3

This, this is Christ the King
Yahweh, our God, our soul’s longing
See, see, the Father’s Name
In Christ, the Son of Mary

After Osmosis EP
by After Osmosis

I'm swept into the nuance of noise, tone, tension and release, in this post-rock narrative. Intuitively arranged, superbly mixed. My only complaint is that there aren't more tracks to enjoy! Caitelen
