What Child Is This

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. This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. Haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the 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. This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. Haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary. Nails, Spear shall pierce him through, The cross be borne for me, for you. Hail, hail the Word made flesh, The babe, the son of Mary. This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. Haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary. Raise Ye a song of joy, joy to The risen Lord. Raise ye a song of joy, Joy to the risen. This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. Haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary.
