What Child is This

The Weary World Rejoices: “Magnificat”—Luke 1:24-56

What Child is This

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?

Chorus:
This, this is Christ, the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

2 Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.[Chorus]

3 So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come, peasant, king to own Him.
The King of kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.[Chorus] 

1.     What is this song trying to communicate? 

2.      Read Luke 1:24-56 together.

3.      Rethink this statement, “Mary’s simple faith is the soil out of which a MAGNIFICAT grows!!!”

·        Like Mary, how is your faith?

·        What is your Magnificat? Why did God put you on the earth?

·        What is He calling you to do? Will you do it?

·        How can this Life Group pray for you and encourage you to take the first step?

Have a great week meeting and celebrating Christmas together!
