What Child Is This

What child is this who lay 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 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 What child is this who lay to rest on Mary's lap is sleeping Whom angels greet with anthems sweet While shepherd 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 Raise, raise a song on high The virgin sings her lullaby Joy, joy for Christ is born The babe, the son of Mary
