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 Lord 
The Babe, the Son of Mary 

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrth 
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 Lord 
The Babe, the Son of Mary 

This, this is Christ the King 
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing 
Haste, haste to bring him Lord 
The Babe, the Son of Mary 

This, this is Christ the King 
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing 
Haste, haste to bring him Lord 
The Babe, the Son of Mary
