Lyrics

What child is this, who, lay to rest,

on Mary's lap, is sleeping

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,

while Shepards watch are keeping

Chorus

This, this is Christ the King

whom Shepards guard and angels sing

Haste, Haste, to bring him laud,

The babe, the son of Mary



Why lies he in such mean estate

where ox and ass are feeding?

Good Christian, fear; for sinners

here the silent Word is pleading


Chorus


So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh come,

peasant, King, to own him;

The King of kings salvation brings,

let loving hearts enthrone Him

That's how we grow.

Thanks!
