What Child is This?Chicago

An angel's song is sung
Mary's time has come to pass
The Lord will have a Son
Wise men come
To welcome home the child

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, Mary

An angel's song is sung
Mary's time has come to pass

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant king to own Him
The King of kings, salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

Raise, raise the song on high
The Virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy, for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Ooh, Mary

An angel's song is sung
Wise men come
To welcome home the child

What child is this
Who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?

Whom angels greet
With anthems sweet
While shepherds
Shepherds watch are keeping?

An angel's song is sung
(Sing a song)
Mary's time has come to pass
(Time has come at last)
The Lord will have a Son
Wise men come
To welcome home the child

Welcome home
Mary's time has come to pass
The Lord will have a Son
Wise men come
To welcome home the child

Chicago

Chicago is a rock band hailing from the Illinois city of the same name. With its multitude of certified gold and platinum hits, the band has had enough longevity to last for over fifty years.

Chicago was formed on February 15, 1967, between keyboardist/singer Robert Lamm, trumpeter Lee Loughnane, saxophonist Walter Parazaider, drummer Danny Seraphine, guitarist Terry Kath, and trombonist James Pankow. The group called themselves “The Big Thing,” and played Top 40 hits in nightclubs in Chicago. In 1968, the band relocated to Los Angles, and changed their name to Chicago Transit Authority. They gained massive amounts of exposure to famous musicians of the time by regularly playing at the Whiskey A Go Go nightclub. In 1969, they released a self-titled album which peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. The next year, the band shortened their name to “Chicago” to avoid a lawsuit from the actual company of the same name.

The band has released a plethora of albums, most of them titled Chicago enumerated with Roman numerals. The band changed its sound in the late 70s and 80s following the death of Terry Kath. Since then, the band has still carried on a legacy for the decades following, but has slowed the release of original music to a trickle.
