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, bring him gold
Come peasant king to own Him,
The King of kings, salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
The Virgin sings a lullaby
Joy, Joy, for Christ is born,
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?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?Raise, raise the song on high,
The Virgin sings a lullaby
Joy, Joy, for Christ is born,
The babe, the Son of Mary!
