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


O raise, raise a song on high
His mother sings a lullaby

Joy, oh 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

What child is this who lay 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 Mary

The Babe, the Son of Mary
The Son of Mary
