What child is this

Who lay to rest

On Mary's lap is sleeping

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet

While shepherds watch are keeping



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 laud

The Babe, the Son of Mary



O raise, raise a song on high

His mother sings a lullaby

Joy, oh joy for Christ is born

The Babe, the son of Mary



This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him laud

The Babe, the Son of Mary



What child is this who lay to rest

On Mary's lap, on Mary's lap he is sleeping



This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him laud

The Babe, the Son of Mary

The Babe, the Son of Mary

The Son of Mary
