What Child Is This
“What child is this”
who came to earth,
knowing earth's ruler
would deplore?
“What child is this”
who came to earth,
knowing His torture
in store?
What Father is this
who loved so much,
to sacrifice His Own
flesh and blood?
A Divine Lamb, who
on a mountain stood,
offered all Earth-kingdoms
if only He, the status-quo
would let be? – “What child
is this”, who when Mary, kneeling
at His feet, diverting her eyes, He
spoke: No dear one, look up at Me~
take hold of your Brother's Hands
– and Rise!?
