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?



[Chorus]

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, gold, and myth

Come peasant, king, to own Him

The King of kings, salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone Him



[Chorus: x3]
