Today’s hymn sung by St Martins in the Fields is: What Child is this? 

What child is this?

sung by St Martin’s Voices

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?

This, this is Christ the King,

whom shepherds worship and angels sing:

haste, haste to bring him praise

the babe, the son of Mary.

2 Why lies he in such mean estate,

where ox and ass are feeding?

Come have no fear, God’s son is here,

his love all loves exceeding. 

Nails, spear, shall pierce him through,

the cross be borne for me, for you:

hail, hail the Saviour comes,

the babe, the son of Mary.

3 So bring him incense, gold and myrrh,

all tongues and peoples own him,

the King of kings salvation brings,

let every heart enthrone him:

Raise, raise your song on high

while Mary sings her lullaby.

Joy, joy, for Christ is born

the babe, the son of Mary.
