[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
[Verse 2]
Why does he lies in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding
Good people feel for sinners here
The silent word is bleeding
[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]
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]
Oh, raise, oh raise a song on high
His mother sings her lullaby
Oh Joy, oh joy for Christ is born
The babe, the son of Mary
[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
[Outro]
The babe, the son of Mary
The babe, the son of Mary
The babe, the son of Mary
