Lyrics

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 loud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Nails and spears shall pierce Him through
The Cross be borne for me, for you
Hail, hail the word made flesh
The Babe, the Son of Mary
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him loud
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
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him loud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him loud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
The Babe, the Son of Mary
The Babe, the Son of Mary
