What Child Is This?

What child is this who laid to rest On Mary's lap is sleeping Whom angels greet with anthem 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 Why lies he in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding Good Christians fear for sinners here The silent word is pleading Raise, raise a song on high The virgin sings her lullaby Joy, joy for Christ is born The babe, the son of Mary What child is this What child is this What child is this What child is this The babe, the son of Mary
