What Child Is This?

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

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?

Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading

CHORUS

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

The Holy Son of God
The Holy King of kings
The Holy Son of God
The Babe, the Son of Mary
