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 him
O raise o raise a song on high
His mother sings a lullaby
Joy of 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 loud
The babe, the son of Mary
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him loud
The babe, the son of Mary
