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?
This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud, the Babe, the Son of Mary.

Why lies He is such mean estate where ox and lamb are feeding?
Good Christians fear, for sinners here the silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through, the cross be borne for me for you.
Hail, hail, the Word made flesh, 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 virgin sings her lullaby.
Joy, joy, for Christ is born, the Babe, the Son of Mary.
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
