What Child is This?http://www.youtube.com/embed/8T6isuiF-x0
And she brought forth her firstborn son,
and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, a
nd laid him in a manger;
Luke 2:7
"What Child Is This?" is a popular Christmas carol written in 1865. At the age of twenty-nine, English writer Willia Chatterton Dix was struck with a sudden near-fatal illness and confined to bedrest for several months, during which he went into a deep depression. Yet out of his near-death experience, Dix wrote many hymns, including a poem entitled, "The Manger Throne," from which three stanzas were later culled, set to the traditional English tune "Greensleeves," and retitled as "What Child Is This?"
