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 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 laud The babe, the son of Mary Hallelujah What child is this, who, laid to rest On Mary's lap is sleeping? Hallelujah Whom angels greet with anthems sweet While shepherds watch are keeping? Hallelujah Hallelujah Raise, raise a song on high The virgin sings her lullaby Joy, 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 laud The babe, the son of Mary
