What Child Is This是一首圣诞颂歌，由William Chatterton Dix于1865年创作。在创作此曲时，Dix其实是一名保险公司经理，且患有严重的疾病。恢复之后，他的精神受到了洗礼，这也促使他从事赞美诗的创作。

What Child Is This歌词：

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 guard and angels sing;

Haste, haste to bring Him laud

The babe, the son of Mary

Why lies He in such mean estate

Where ox and ass are feeding?

Good Christian, fear, for sinners here

The silent Word is pleading

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;

Haste, haste to bring Him laud

The babe, the son of Mary

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh

Come, peasant, King, to own Him;

The King of kings salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone Him

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;

Haste, haste to bring Him laud

The babe, the son of Mary
