Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas Day.<br />

WHAT CHILD IS THIS English Traditional Melody Based on “Greensleves<br />
Lyrics by William Chatterton Dix<br />
Em D Em Am B7<br />
What child is this, who, laid to rest, On Mary's lap, is sleeping,<br />
Em D Em B7 Em<br />
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping?<br />
G D Em Am B7 G<br />
This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard <strong>and</strong> angels sing: Haste, haste to<br />
D Em B7 Em<br />
bring him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary!<br />
Why lies he in such mean estate Where ox <strong>and</strong> ass are feeding?<br />
Good Christian, fear for sinners here, The silent Word is pleading? Nails, spears shall<br />
Pierce Him through, the cross be borne for me. for you; Hail, hail the word made<br />
flesh, the babe the son of Mary!<br />
So bring Him incense, gold, <strong>and</strong> myrrh, Come peasant king to own Him,<br />
The King of kings, salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him.<br />
Raise, raise the song on high, The Virgin sings her lullaby:<br />
Joy, joy, for Christ is born, The Babe, the Son of Mary!
DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR By Noel Regeney <strong>and</strong> Gloria Shayne<br />
C Bb C<br />
Said the night wind to the little lamb,<br />
G F G<br />
"Do you see what I see?<br />
C Bb C<br />
Way up in the sky, A little lamb,<br />
G F G<br />
Do you see what I see?<br />
Am Em<br />
A star, a star, dancing in the night<br />
F C G F E Am<br />
With a tail as big as a kite,<br />
F C Dm G C<br />
With a tail as big as a kite."<br />
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,<br />
"Do you hear what I hear?<br />
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,<br />
Do you hear what I hear?<br />
A song, a song high above the trees<br />
With a voice as big as the sea,<br />
With a voice as big as the sea."<br />
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,<br />
"Do you know what I know?<br />
In your palace warm, mighty king,<br />
Do you know what I know?<br />
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold--<br />
Let us bring him silver <strong>and</strong> gold,<br />
Let us bring him silver <strong>and</strong> gold."<br />
Said the king to the people everywhere,<br />
"Listen to what I say!<br />
Pray for peace, people, everywhere,<br />
Listen to what I say!<br />
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night<br />
He will bring us goodness <strong>and</strong> light,<br />
He will bring us goodness <strong>and</strong> light."
