What child is this laid to rest
While Mary's man is sleeping
Whom angles greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch their King
This is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angles sing
Hast hast to bring Him praise
The baby Son of Mary
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come peasant King to owe him
The King of kings salvation bring
That loving hearts in throne
Raise, raise a song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The baby Son of Mary
