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 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

Oh, raise and 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

Oh, this, this is Christ, the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring Him laud

The babe, the son of Mary
