Lyrics

What child is this who laid to rest

On Mary’s lap a sleeping

Who angels greet with voices sweet

While shepherds watch are keeping

This, this is Christ the king

Who shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him praise

The son the babe of Mary

So bring him incense gold and myrrh

Come peasant king to praise Him

The king of kings a glory brings

Let loving hearts enthrone Him

Raise, raise the song on high

Let singing fill the earth and sky

Joy, joy for Christ is born

The babe the son of Mary
