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

This, this is Christ the King

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;

Haste, haste, to bring Him praise,

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.

This, this is Christ the King

Jesus, Jesus

This, this is Christ the King

How I trust Him

This, this is Christ the King

Oh to trust Him more

Feels so sweet to trust in Jesus

Just to take Him at His word

Just to rest upon His promise

And to know "Thus saith the Lord"

And to know "Thus saith the Lord"

This, this is Christ the King

This, this is Christ the King

This, this is Christ the King

The Babe, the Son of Mary.
