What Child Is This? Lyrics

An Angel's song is sung
Mary's time has come to best
The Lord will have a Son
Wise men come to welcome home the childWhat child is this, who lay to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom Angels greet with anthem sweet
While shepards watch our keepingThis, this is Christ, the King
Whom shepards guard and Angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him love
The babe, the Son of Mary, MaryAn Angel's song is sung
Mary's time has come to bestSo bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant King to own Him
The King of Kings, salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone himPraise, praise the Son on high
The Virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy, for Christ is born
The babe, the Son of Mary, MaryAn Angel's song is sung
Wise men come to welcome home the childWhat child is this, who lay to rest

On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom Angels greet with anthem sweet
While shepards, shepards watch our keepingAn Angel's song is sung
Mary's time has come to best
The Lord will have a Son
Wise men come to welcome home the childMary's time has come to best
The Lord will have a Son
Wise men come to welcome home the child
