Helpless and hungry, lowly afraid,

Wrapped in the chill of mid-winter

New life for the world



CotP Chorus:
  Am         F                         G
Who is this who lives with the lowly, Sharing their sorrows,

  F                E
Knowing their hunger?

          F                          G
This is Christ, revealed to the world

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

WCiT Verse 1:
        Am         F             G
What child is this, who, laid to rest,

    Am         F        E
On Mary's lap is sleeping?

       Am          F          G
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,

        Am           E           Am
While shepherds watch are keeping?



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

                  F          E
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:

  F                 G
Haste, haste to bring him laud,

      Am           E        Am
The babe, the son of Mary.

Fmaj7 G Am


CotP Verse 2:
   Am             F          G
Who is the stranger, here in our midst,

   Am            F           E
Looking for shelter among us?

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

        E           Am
The children of God?



CotP Chorus:
  Am         F                         G
Who is this who lives with the lowly, Sharing their sorrows,

  F                E
Knowing their hunger?

          F                          G
This is Christ, revealed to the world

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

WCiT Verse 2:
      Am         F          G
Why lies he in such mean estate

       Am         F          E
Where ox and ass are feeding?

       Am           F            G
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here

      Am        E           Am
The silent Word is pleading.



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

                  F          E
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:

  F                 G
Haste, haste to bring him laud,

      Am           E        Am
The babe, the son of Mary.

CotP Verse 3:
    Am             F          G
Bring all the thirsty, all who seek peace;

   Am                 F            E
Bring those with nothing to offer,

   Am               F         G
Strengthen the feeble, say to the frightened heart:

       Am        E            Am
"Fear not, here is your God!".



CotP Chorus:
  Am         F                         G
Who is this who lives with the lowly, Sharing their sorrows,

  F                E
Knowing their hunger?

          F                          G
This is Christ, revealed to the world

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

Fmaj7 G Am


WCiT Verse 3:
     Am           F          G
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh,

        Am          F          E
Come, peasant, king, to own him.

      Am         F         G
The King of kings salvation brings,

      Am        E           Am
Let loving hearts enthrone him.



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

                  F          E
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:

  F                 G
Haste, haste to bring him laud,

      Am           E        Am
The babe, the son of Mary.
