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 1]
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]
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 2]
Raise, raise, the song on high
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

[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 1]
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary

[Instrumental]
