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...
