    What 
    child 
    is 
    this, 
    who laid 
    to rest 

    On 
    Mary's 
    lap 
    is 
    sleep
    ing? 

    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 
    love, 

    The 
    Babe, 

    the 
    Son 
    of 
    Mary. 

    Why 
    lies 
    he 
    in 
    such 
    mean 
    estate 

    Where 
    ox 
    and 
    ass 
    are 
    feeding? 

    That 
    Christian 
    fear 
    for 
    sinners 
    here, 

    The 
    silent 
    word 
    is 
    pleading. 

    Nails, 
    spears 
    shall 
    pierce 
    him 
    through, 

    The 
    cross 
    be 
    borne 
    for 
    me, 
    for 
    you. 

    Hail! 
    Hail! 
    The 
    Bird 
    -made 
    Flesh, 

    the 
    Babe, 
    the 
    Son 
    of 
    Mary. 

    So 
    bring 
    him 
    incense, 
    gold, 
    and 
    myrrh 

    Come, 
    peasant 
    king, 
    to 
    own 
    him 

    The 
    King 
    of 
    Kings 
    sal
    vation 

    brings 
    that 
    loving 
    hearts 
    and throne 
    him. 

    Raise, 
    raise 
    the 
    psalm 
    on 
    high, 

    the 
    Virgin 
    sings 
    her 
    lullaby. 

    Joy, 
    joy, 
    for 
    Christ 
    is 
    born, 

    the 
    Babe, 
    the 
    Son 
    of 
    Mary.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
