What Child Is This? Lyrics

What child is this who's laid to rest

 on Mary's lap is sleeping?

 Whom angels greet with anthems sweet

 while shepherd's watch are keeping

 This this is Christ the King

 whom shepherds guard

 and angels sing

 Haste! haste! to bring him, Lord!

 the babe, the son of Mary 

 

 So bring him incense, gold and myrrh

 come peasant, king to all of him

 The king of kings

 celebration brings

 That loving hearts enthrone him 

 

 Raise! Raise! The song on high!

 The virgin sings her lullaby

 Joy! Joy! For Christ is born!

 The babe, the son of Mary
