What child is this

Who lay to rest

On Mary's lap is sleeping

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 laud

The Babe the Son of Mary

So bring him incense bring him gold

Come peasant king to own him

The King of Kings salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone him

Raise raise a song on high

The virgin sings her lullaby

Joy joy for Christ is born

The babe the Son of Mary

What child is this

Who lay to rest

On Mary's lap is sleeping

Angels greet with anthems sweet

While shepherds watch are keeping

Raise raise a song on high

The virgin sings her lullaby

Joy joy for Christ is born

The babe the Son of Mary
