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 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh Come peasant, came to warm him The King of kings salvation brings Let loving hearts enthrone him This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring him up The baby son of Mary Oh, raise, oh raise a song on high His mother sings a lullaby Joy, oh joyful Christ is born The baby son of Mary This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring him up The baby son of Mary Oh, this, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring him up The baby son of Mary
