what child is this? lyrics
[verse 1]
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?
[chorus]
this, this is christ the king
whom shepherds guard and angels sing
haste, haste to bring him laud
the babe, the son of mary
[verse 2]
why lies he in such mean estate
where ox and ass are feeding?
good christians, fear, for sinners here
the silent word is pleading
[chorus]
this, this is christ the king
whom shepherds guard and angels sing
haste, haste to bring him laud
the babe, the son of mary
[verse 3]
so bring him incense, gold and myrrh
come peasant, king to own him
the king of kings salvation brings
let loving hearts enthrone him
[chorus]
this, this is christ the king
whom shepherds guard and angels sing
haste, haste to bring him laud
the babe, the son of mary
[chorus/outro]
raise, raise a song on high
the virgin sings her lullaby
joy, joy for christ is born
the babe, the son of mary
