What Child is This?



What child is this, who, laid to rest

On Mary's lap was sleeping

Whom angles 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 (I don't know what this is!)

The babe the son of Mary



Why lies He in such mean estate

Where ox and lamb are feeding

Good Christian, fear; For sinners here

The silent word is pleading



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



This, this is Christ the king

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring Him laud

The babe the son of Mary

The babe the son of Mary
