What child is this, who lay to rest On Mary's lap, this sleepin' Whom angels greet with anthems sweet While shepherds watch are keepin' This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Pays taste to bring Him, Lord, the baby son of Mary This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Pays taste to bring Him, Lord, the baby son of Mary So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh Come, peasant king, to own Him The King of kings salvation brings Let loving hearts enthrone Him So raise, raise a song on high His mother sings her lullaby Joy, oh joy for Christ is born The baby son of Mary *
