“What Child Is This?” – William Chatterton Dix 1865
Acoustic Cover by Erskine Knowles. Introduced by Fay Knowles.

"What Child Is This?" is a Christmas carol with lyrics written by William Chatterton Dix in 1865 and set to the tune of "Greensleeves", a traditional English folk song (possibly by Richard Jones), in 1871. Although written in Great Britain, the carol today is more popular in the United States than its country of origin. (Source Wikipedia).
