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

[Verse 2]
So bring him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant king to love Him;
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

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

[Interlude]
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 3]
Raise, raise the song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
"Joy, joy for Christ is born
The babe, the Son of Mary"

[Refrain]
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
Of Mary
