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?So bring him incense, gold and myrrh
Come, peasant, king to own him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone himThis, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of MaryOh, raise, raise a song on high
His Mother sings her lullaby
Joy, oh, joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of MaryThis, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of MaryWhat child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap, on Mary's lap he is sleeping?This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of MaryBabe, the son of Mary
The son of Mary
