The-Petersens-What-Child-is-This

This Christmas song paints a vivid picture of the birth of Jesus in our minds through its melodious tune and lyrics.

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?

This Christmas carol was written by William Chatterton Dix in 1865. Since then, it has been covered by many popular artists.

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come Peasant, King to own Him
The King of Kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

Today, the family music group The Petersens is spreading the joy of Christmas through a wonderful rendition of ‘What Child Is This.’

Verse of the Day

“[Do Not Love the World] Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.”

1 John 2:15-16
