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?

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring Him laud

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 a song on high

The mother sings her lullaby

Joy, joy for Christ is born

The babe the son of Mary

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?

This, this is Christ, the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring Him laud

The Babe, the Son of Mary
