What Child Is This lyrics

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?

Oh, raise, oh raise a song on high,
His mother sings her 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 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,
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring Him praise,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

[Instrumental]

This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring Him praise,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring Him praise,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

The Babe, the Son... of Mary.
