What child is this Who laid 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, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, king to own Him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let 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
