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


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


This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
