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

What child is this?

What child is this?

What child is this?

Oh, raise, raise a song on high

His mother sings her 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 laid to rest

On Mary's lap, on Mary's lap 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
