lirik lagu what child is this / child of the poor – the hound + the fox
[fox]
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?
[hound]
helpless and hungry, lowly, afraid
wrapped in the chill of midwinter;
comes now, among us, born into, poverty’s embrace
new life for the world
[chorus: hound & fox]
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
[fox (hound)]
what child is this, who laid to rest
(who is, this stranger? here in our midst?)
on mary’s lap is sleeping?
(looking for shelter among us?)
whom angels greet with anthems sweet
(who is, the outcast? who do, we see amidst the poor?)
while shepherds watch are keeping?
(the children of god?)
[hound (fox)]
who is this? who lives with the lowly?
(this, this is christ the king,)
sharing their sorrows
(whom shepherds guard)
knowing their hunger?
(and angels sing;)
this is christ, revealed to the world
(haste, haste, to bring, him laud,)
in the eyes of a child, a child of the poor
(the babe, the son of mary.)
[hound & fox]
so bring him incense, gold and myrrh
come peasant, king to own him;
the king of kings salvation brings
let loving hearts enthrone him
[fox (hound)]
bring the thirsty, who seek peace;
(so, bring all, the thirsty, all who seek peace;)
those with nothing to offer
(bring those with nothing to offer.)
strengthen the feeble
(strengthen, the feeble,)
say to the, ‘tened heart:
(say to, the frightened heart:)
fear not, fear not
(“fear not: here is your god!”)
[hound (fox)]
who is this who lives with the lowly
(this, this is christ the king,)
sharing their sorrows, knowing their hunger?
(whom shepherds guard and angels sing;)
this is christ, revealed to the world
(haste, haste, to bring him laud,)
in the eyes of a child, a child of the poor
(the babe, the son of mary.)
