I know it's not Christmas but this song is one of my favourite songs from the animation "The Star". It was sung by Jake Owen and was perfect for the scene it was used.
'The Star' is an animated adaptation of the story of the Nativity of Jesus. It also includes animal characters and some songs to make it appealing to both the young and old.
I came across Tommee Profitt's version of the same song where he featured Evvie McKinney and it really blessed me. I got the instrumental and I rendered my voice to this beautiful song.
Kudos to Jack Owen for a great delivery of the song 'What child is?'.
I hope my own rendition will bless you.

Lyrics:
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?
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 a song on high,
This mother sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
Oh oh This is Christ the lord
Oh oh This is Christ the lord
