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 This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring Him grace The babe, the son of Mary Oh, raise, raise a song on high His mother sings her 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 grace The babe, the son of Mary The babe, the son of Mary
