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, Lord

The Babe, the Son of Mary

So, bring Him incense, bring Him gold

Come peasant, king, to own Him

The King of kings, salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone Him

Raise, raise the song on high

The Virgin 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

Raise, raise the song on high

The Virgin sings Her lullaby

Joy, joy, for Christ is born

The Babe, the Son of Mary
