What Child Is This

What Child is this who laid to rest,

On Mary’s lap is sleeping?

Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,

While shepherd’s 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.

Hmmmm

Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,

The cross He bore for me, for you.

Hail, hail the Word made flesh

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.

Raise, raise the song on high

The Virgin sings her lullaby.

Joy, joy for Christ is born,

The Babe, the Son of Mary.
