Lyrics

1.

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?

Refrain

This, this is Christ the King,

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;

Haste, haste to bring him laud,

the babe, the son of Mary.

2.

What lies he in such mean estate

Where ox and ass are feeding?

Good Christian, fear: for sinners here

The silent Word is pleading.

3.

So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh,

Come peasant, king, to own him;

The Kings of kings salvation brings,

Let loving hearts enthrone him.
