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?

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


Raise, raise a song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby

Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary
