Don't get me wrong, I've always loved the lights and decorations that go along with Christmas, as well as the magical feeling that only seems to be around when it's around the corner. But this song...or songs are so simple and pure, it really captures the essence of what Christmas is about. The day Jesus came to save us. God Bless us all!
Try to listen to the song titled the meaning of Christmas 😊❤
@@aiyademafelis3561 🙂 there is no Christmas without Christ 🙂
I cry everytime I hear this song combination. It works not only because of the beautiful countermelodies, but also on a literary level. The juxtaposition between one song highlighting his godly/royal origins, and the other highlighting the vulnerability/poverty of his birth. Its a perfect match.
I know I'm really late to the party, but this is drop-dead GORGEOUS. Especially the last chorus where Child of the Poor asks the question "Who is this?" And What Child Is This answers "This is Christ, the King." Wow. Absolutely beautiful you guys.
Agreed. Just Beautiful.
Love it! Absolutely beautiful!❤❤❤❤❤
Hits me every time!
[Fox]
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?
[Hound]
Helpless and hungry, lowly, afraid
Wrapped in the chill of midwinter;
Comes now, among us, born into, poverty’s embrace
New life for the world
[Chorus: Hound & Fox]
Who is this? Who lives with the lowly?
Sharing their sorrows
Knowing their hunger?
This is Christ revealed to the world
In the eyes of a child, a child of the poor
[Fox (Hound)]
What child is this, who laid to rest
(Who is, this stranger? Here in our midst?)
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
(Looking for shelter among us?)
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
(Who is, the outcast? Who do, we see amidst the poor?)
While shepherds watch are keeping?
(The children of God?)
[Hound (Fox)]
Who is this? Who lives with the lowly?
(This, this is Christ the King,)
Sharing their sorrows
(Whom shepherds guard)
Knowing their hunger?
(And angels sing;)
This is Christ, revealed to the world
(Haste, haste, to bring, Him laud,)
In the eyes of a child, a child of the poor
(The Babe, the Son of Mary.)
[Hound & Fox]
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, king to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
[Fox (Hound)]
Bring the thirsty, who seek peace;
(So, bring all, the thirsty, all who seek peace;)
Those with nothing to offer
(Bring those with nothing to offer.)
Strengthen the feeble
(Strengthen, the feeble,)
Say to the, 'tened heart:
(Say to, the frightened heart:)
Fear not, fear not
(“Fear not: here is your God!”)
[Hound (Fox)]
Who is this who lives with the lowly
(This, this is Christ the King,)
Sharing their sorrows, knowing their hunger?
(Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;)
This is Christ, revealed to the world
(Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,)
In the eyes of a child, a child of the poor
(The Babe, the Son of Mary.)

Thank you

Yes indeed I AM SHE...
God bless you.
I’m actually crying you don’t understand 😂
This is like, my favorite Christmas song now.
I so understand. I lose it when they sing this in church.
Oh me too, me too. Like WOW!
Only someone who has gone through poverty and pain can do this collab of two songs in such a beautiful way. Good job guys.
I am sure that the hosts of heaven are in awe of this praise. I listen to this song often.
I love the two songs meshed together and how the last words of each song are the same, so they are sung in unison.Clever and beautiful.
Not to be mean, but this was always how these two songs were sung. I wish more artists sung both songs together. Just as rare to hear Silent Night and Night of Silence together as well.
@@chanelw9408 That's not actually correct. I don't know about Silent Night and Night of Silence, but "What Child is This" was written by William Dix in 1865. "Child of the Poor" was written in 1994 by Scott Soper. It was written specifically as a counter meldoy to "What Child is This", but it's perfectly appropriate to perform "What Child is This" on it's own.
Doesn’t sound like two songs. Sounds like a round which is a type of music where you offset when each set of lyrics are sung
Which given what you said about it being written as a counter melody would explain it
@@chanelw9408 My group sings Silent Night/Night of Silence together. We've been doing it for at least 13 years and it always leave the church in complete silence. It's such a beautiful arrangement. This year was our first time singing What Child is this/Child of the Poor. We received the same response!
It's that time of Year again, where Christmas music is played 24 hours a day... and yet it all feels just as hollow as it did in years prior.
This... this is different. This is, always has been, and always will be, something so beutiful. Thank you.
This gave me goose bumps and brought a tear to my eye. It is absolutely beautiful and moving.
I used to be homeless after a traumatic time of physical, verbal and mental relationship. It was during the winter and the shelters were full. I stayed low in a local cemetery and ate when I could. I was terrified, cold , hungry and poor. I wouldn't wish what I had been through on anyone. I was born into poverty and raised in a complete abusive home. I was in and out of foster homes. I went through so much but I am now ok. I have my own apartment and live humbly. I'm a Born Again Christian and live day by day. May GOD bless you and your family.
This is probably one of the most beautiful pieces of Christmas music ever created. Loved it the moment I heard it - already bought the sheet music and have our guitarist lined up for a Christmas performance. We are recording it as well just because it's so perfect. Both of your voices are epic! Thanks for sharing. Stunning!!!
I agree with you.
My new favorite of the season
I’m singing this at my church and I can’t stop😊listening to it
Me to
It's unique to have two different songs sung at the same time, but you two blended so well without drowning each other out. I would not think the idea would work, but it did work perfectly. Kudos to the audio engineer who balanced things out perfectly. And kudos to the video engineer. This is achingly beautiful. I had not seen this video before, and it's the day after Thanksgiving, so it's a great way to start the Christmas season.
This is a classic pairing we would sing at our church! They sing this beautifully!
David Bowie & Bing Crosby did it years ago, the little drummer boy I think.
It’s a duet
Bob-You would enjoy song “Peace, Peace”
@@Perfman ??
Just listened to this. The beginning was sung so beautifully it gave me chills.
I am so grateful for heartfelt music that captures some of the emotions I feel about Christmas, including the peace of knowing that Jesus came to earth to take my pains away and I'll be able to see those I've lost again.
ANGELICALLY BEAUTIFUL! I too have never heard Child of the Poor....MY NEW FAVORITE CHRISTMAS SONG! From Top Grandpa Fan & Child of God in Tennessee. 🙏🏼🎶🎄
This is still my favorite song that you two sing together
I'm in tears...What a lovely song!
I love this arrangement.
He did not sleep on a mattress
Though our souls He did caress
He slept on straw
and soothed our hearts that were raw
He did not have sheets
but He accomplished a great feat
Have a blessed day
BC
I am in scool and I like it!
This song makes me feel so warm. Catholic music does this to me, I love it
This couple brings tears to my eyes, everywhere they choose to sing. Caves n empty churches have some awesome acoustics!!!!
I've never heard of "Child of the Poor" before, so thanks for the introduction. The integration of these two songs works wonderfully too!
That is the point they were written fir eachother
seems to have gotten popular in churches in the last 3 years. my church did it first then and it blew me away. In the current times its particularly poignant.
Ryan Weible my church just started doing it this year and i literally started tearing up because of how beautiful it was. and i was SINGING
Scott Soper originally wrote Child of the Poor. It still gives me chills when I hear it. Plus I also still love singing it in church.
Child of the poor is a popular hymn in the catholic church....I believe it was composed to fit this song on purpose. Theres another counter hymn for silent night that is popular as well.
All abondened people live in the grace and blessing of God. As long as they pray and be faithful 🙏
This is probably my favorite song that these guys do. I loved it the first time I heard it on my cd
This song is literally the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. It pulls all my heart strings and is absolutely sweet and brings me to tears
Beautiful.... beautiful.... beautiful.
We sang this song in this arrangement at out Christmas Vigil Mass this past year. Our group consists of 4 female and 2 male vocalists/guitarists. We practiced it alone in a room with no sound equipment and it sounded just fine. We were happy with it. When we sang it in the church with our in-house sound system it absolutely came alive! The acoustics of the church added so much to it. The only thing we did differently is that us two male vocalists sang our parts in harmony apart from the female vocalists. It added another layer to it.
This gentle form of singing is by far more effective as a sung statement than all the yelling and moaning of recent popular music. A treasure of poetry, gentle voices, and beautiful delivery. Long may you prosper and thrive.
That was staggeringly beautiful!!!
I’ve listened to this over and over again. It’s so beautiful! I will share this! Blessings!
Thank you so much Sabrina!!
So happy to have found this. Sharing with everyone!!!
We named our son, Todd, after we watched this movie, after he was 4 days old, he was born 1 lbs 15oz🙏 & today I asked God for a song as a prayer for him , thought of this song, but couldn't remember the words...then this your video came up!!! God never ceases to amaze me!!!🙏😇 & thank you!!!
Amen. The tears of my eyes today is goes to the poor people especially to the number 1 poorest country around the world.. In Jesus name! I want to hug you all
I can't stop watching this video. The descant arrangement is so much better than each song by itself. It is a "Mic Drop" performance by these artists. The fact that it is done in a simple chapel and you see their breath and he just sang about "being wrapped in mid-winter".... this song is being DJ'd in Heaven until the end of time!
Two wonderful songs, portrayed with a gentleness that speaks deeply. Started listening at Christmas and keep coming back. God bless you in your work.
Two of my favorite Christmas songs sung by two incredibly talented people. Thank you!
Sorry, I'm late to the party and recently discovered "The Hound and The Fox", but I must say; "I don't think I'll ever be satisfied hearing "What Child is This" WITHOUT the integration of "Child of the Poor" ever again. Wow, you two are incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best versions
This is one of the best mashups I've ever heard. I'm in love with the song
You just made a devout Pagan come to tears!
Goodness gracious is this beautiful. Thank you.
I came across this on Facebook. I'm addicted. It's really lovely❤
wow just beautiful
Thank you all for such an incredible response to our mashup of "What Child is This" and "Child of the Poor"! If you like this song and video, we think you will love some of our other Christmas music videos as well! This song is on our Deluxe Christmas album along with 15 other Christmas-time favorites 🎄 Merry Christmas, everyone!! gumroad.com/houndfoxmusic
Beautiful people who Love...
Beautiful piece of work. Beautifully sung. God Bless you both.
This song is about Jesus, so never forget that He is the reason why we are celebrating Christmas. :)
christmas is just another day in the year, nothing special about it. Stores just trying to make you spend more money, thats all there is to this holiday. Religion can be tossed out of the window, theres no place for it in the modern world
Amen!
Was not this the music of Greensleeves written by King Henry VIII?
I can't stop listening to this... so beautiful
I believe this is my favorite Christmas song. It describes Jesus so beautifully. ❤
This is so good. It's giving me chills
🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
WoW,WoW!
Love this arrangement! Beautiful words of Him who gave all!
This duet touched my heart so much .... you guys are one of my favorites ❤️
SO Beautiful! Thank you for not screaming your song. Your sweet voices match the sweet spirit that accompanies your understanding of "the Babe, the son of Mary" :)
This is a holiday favorite of mine. I have commented on this song before. It is technically excellent. Flawlessly executed. The fox is perfect in her counter melody and beautiful to watch as she sings. The hounds part is equally well done. And this is not an easy song to pull off flawlessly. Excellent effort.
Beautifully done!
"Child of the Poor" written by Catholic writer Scott Soper, 1994.
This is just amazing! I love the way these songs blend together from a musical perspective, but most of all, I love how good you guys sound singing together!
Well that is so sweet!! Thank you so much Ben!
Beautiful, another to my playlist. Your harmony is so very beautiful listen to. Thank you.
One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.
you two, what amazing voices. Your voice is comforting to the ear. If you have children, I bet they love listening to your voices as you sing them to sleep.
Beauty in the simplicty of the Eliizabethan melody - ageless whether in this or in Greensleeves. So happy to have found them.
Heavenly voices that touch my heart and spirit. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Thank you so much for watching!
just love this number
Very beautiful and heart felt song that I see in your expressions and hear in your voices, even when your cold in the environment. Well done.
Love this arrangement....love your spirit... and talent of course 🕊🙏💓
Thank you so much Laura!!!
This song is a tremendous blessing and comfort to me. Your individual voices blend beautifully together and I like the subtle way these two songs intertwine in your arrangement. Thank you for the wonderful gift of this uplifting song which reminds us of the Christ child who gives 'new life for the world' in a most difficult year. God bless you and your family!!
Their voices blend They sing beautifully. One of my favorite X-mas song .
OMG where was I 10 months ago that I've missed this awesomeness until now?
I love this so much that I cannot stop listening to it.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much for the breathtaking performance!
This brought me through a very painful time this Christmas. I can't express what an incredible gift & blessing it was. Thank you.
I weep with joy. Thank you for making my life better.
This has been my favorite Christmas song for the past three years. REALLY powerful (great video too).
Who is this? This is Christ the Lord. I just can't get it out of my head. Lovely song, and God bless you both. Thank you for blessing me with this work of art.
Eventhough im not Christian but listening to Christian songs always calms my heart and makes me cry:)
Just heard these songs for the first time and I am blessed with this. Thank you Fox & Hound. I am waiting for the next songs for His glory thank you so much for being exist in this earth!
Very good duet version of Greensleeves! You did than an amazing version of this with what child is this and you changed it up using a male and female duet performance which i really enjoyed.....You did a great Job1 Congratulations ! I like the version of folks just trying to survive and the what the Saviour should do to alleviate it! Again just a great performance!
I LOOOOVE this!!!!! I'm heading over to buy your album right now.
Fabulous duet. How did you manage with the cold. I could see their breath. I know my voice would have croaked.
So beautiful I was trying to place the tune.
I was in the car flipping through channels and came to the Christian radio station and was pleased to find songs for Christmas about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And then your song came in- this song! It is truly beautiful and brought that amazing love of our Savior into my heart and tears to my eyes. I can home and tried to describe it to my hai and and couldn’t adequately so looked for it and found it here! Thank you for using your God given talent in such a way to praise and honor the song of God, Jesus Christ, who came to save us all!
This song was so beautiful, it made weepy eyes. Thank you for honoring our Savior in such a beautiful way--especially when the world celebrates his birth this time of year. You guys are fabulous!
Beautiful.
Truly love this arrangement, and thank you for a beautiful rendition!
This is my new all time favorite Christmas song! Thanks so much for creating this.
This is my new favorite Christmas song. BEAUTIFUL!!!! Love your voices! Thank you

Absolutely love this arrangement! Fantastic job!
just saw this for the first time a few nights ago. It is a beautiful gift from the Holy Spirit. Your singing of it is so beautiful, tender, and pure...like Mary and Joseph themselves signing. I have never heard any song as beautiful or full of meaning as this. God bless you!
Simply mesmerising...love it! God bless you guys..
I enjoyed this version very much. You both did a very good job 👍
This is still my favorite song of all time. I can't stop listening to it, it is absolutely unbelievable, the arrangement of the two songs, and the way you both compliment each other. Seriously, words are not enough. Simply AWESOME!
Absolutely beautiful 💗💗💗
Wounderful song
You do put your souls into this art.
If I could I would give you all the likes I could spend for my entire life for this. I’m going to set this on repeat on Spotify because it’s just so absolutely pure, beautiful, passionate and heartwarming! ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for reco this and making my life a bit brighter while listening ❤️❤️❤️
Magnífica interpretación. Por una situación u otra, esta Navidad no me había dado el tiempo de escuchar villancicos hasta el día de hoy. Videos como éste nos ayudan a renovar el espíritu de la Navidad, tan necesario en estos tiempos
What a beautifully creative mash up!! A new Christmas favorite! Thank you for this gift!!
Love your guys music! So beautiful.
chills from 0:01 till 5:29

The love you carried in this song is incredible it’s so deep and heartwarming that I can’t find the right words for it….❤️❤️❤️
Heavenly! Sing! Keep singing to the glory of God. You two are standing on holy ground.
Hauntingly moving
