What child is this who laid to rest
On mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet

While sheperds watch are keeping

This, this is christ the king

Whom sheperds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of mary

The babe, the son of mary

Why lies he in such mean estate

Where ox and $%&^ are feeding
Good christian, fear for sinners here
The silent word is pleading


This, this is christ the king
Whom sheperds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of mary


So bring incense, gold, and myrrh
Come peasant, come king to own him
The king of kings salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone him

Raise, raise, the song on high

The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for christ is born
The babe, the son of mary


This, this is christ your king
Whom sheperds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of mary


The babe, the son of mary

Ooh, born in a manger, laid in some hay

They just didn't know who you were
Ooh, you were born in a stable, so far away
O, we just didn't know who you were


Yes, sweet little jesus, boy
Sweet little jesus, boy... ooh


Didn't know who, who you were
