Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What child is this, who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with voices sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
[Verse 2]
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him praise
The Babe, the son of Mary
[Verse 3]
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come peasant king to praise Him
The king of king, oh glory brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
[Verse 4]
Raise, raise the song on high
Let singing fume the earth and sky
Joy, joy, for Christ is born
The Babe, the son of Mary
[Verse 5]
What child is this, who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with voices sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
[Verse 6]
This, this is Christ the king
Whom shepherds watch and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him praise
The Babe, the Son of Mary
