New life for the world

Who is this who lives with the lowly, Sharing their sorrows,

Knowing their hunger?

This is Christ, revealed to the world

What child is this, who, laid to rest,

On Mary's lap is sleeping?

    Em     G     D
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,

    Em      B      Em
While shepherds watch are keeping?



WCiT Chorus:
 G        D
This, this is Christ the King,

         C     B
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:

Haste, haste to bring him laud,

The babe, the son of Mary.

Who is the stranger, here in our midst,

Looking for shelter among us?

Who is this outcast? Who do we see amidst the poor,

    B      Em
The children of God?

 Em     G             D
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.

WCiT Verse 2:
   Em     G     D
Why lies he in such mean estate

    Em     C     B
Where ox and ass are feeding?

    Em      G      D
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here

   Em    B      Em
The silent Word is pleading.

This, this is Christ the King,

         C     B

Haste, haste to bring him laud,

   Em      B    Em
The babe, the son of Mary.

CotP Verse 3:
  Em       G     D
Bring all the thirsty, all who seek peace;

  Em         C      B
Bring those with nothing to offer,

  Em        G     D
Strengthen the feeble, say to the frightened heart:

    Em    B      Em
"Fear not, here is your God!".

 Em     G             D
Who is this who lives with the lowly, Sharing their sorrows,

In the eyes of a child, a child of the poor.

So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh,

Come, peasant, king, to own him.

   Em     G     D
The King of kings salvation brings,

   Em    B      Em
Let loving hearts enthrone him.

This, this is Christ the King,

Haste, haste to bring him laud,

   Em      B    Em
The babe, the son of Mary.
