What child is this who laid to rest On Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet While the good 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, oh raise the song on high His mother sings her lullaby Oh joy, oh joy for Christ is born The babe, the son of Mary What child is this? What child is this? What child is this? This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring Him laud The babe, the son of Mary, of Mary, of Mary
