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
