what child is this
who laid to rest
on mary's lap is sleeping
whom angels greet with anthems sweet
while shepherds watch are sleeping
this this is christ the king
whom shepherds guard and angels sing
haste haste to bring him laud
the babe the son of mary
so bring him incense gold and myrrh
come peasant king to own him
the king of kings salvation brings
let loving hearts enthrone him
this this is christ the king
whom shepherds guard and angels sing
haste haste to bring him laud
the babe the son of mary
oh raise raise a song on high
his mother sings her lullaby
oh joy oh joy for christ is born
the babe and the son of mary
this this is christ the king
whom shepherds guard and angels sing
haste haste to bring him laud
the babe the son of mary
of mary
