Lyrics

(What Child is this, who laid to rest)
(On Mary's lap is sleeping?)
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?
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
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 Kings 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
Raise (raise), raise the song on high
The Virgin sings Her lullaby
Joy, joy, for Christ is born
The Babe (the Babe), the Son of Mary, of Mary
The Babe, the Son of Mary, of Mary
